Embodiments generally relate to determining traffic congestion patterns. In some embodiments, a method includes identifying congestion events for each road of a plurality of roads in a road network, where each congestion event indicates a drop in average vehicle speed below a predetermined speed threshold for a particular road in the road network, and where the congestion events span a predetermined time period. The method further includes determining local clusters of the congestion events based on one or more road condition parameters, where each local cluster defines a local congestion pattern for a particular road of the plurality of roads in the road network. The method further includes grouping the local clusters into one or more global clusters based on the one or more road condition parameters, where the global clusters define global congestion patterns in the road network.
