Description

Major UK roads now slower than cycling speeds, with average speeds dropping to a record low of 56.1 mph. Dartford tunnel on M25, M57 in Sefton, and M67 in Tameside among the worst affected. Nine motorways have sections where average speeds are below 30 mph. Slowdown poses threat to Britains economic recovery, with M67 currently the slowest motorway at 44.7 mph. This marks a significant change from the pandemic period when average speeds rose due to reduced congestion.
