Traffic delays in UK are worse than ever

TRAFFIC levels on Britain’s roads have reached an all-time high, with drivers facing up to six minutes of delays for every vehicle mile travelled, new figures from the Department for Transport show.

Motorists drove 324 billion miles on UK roads in 2016, up 2.2 per cent on 2015. Drivers in the City of London face the worst delays, losing six minutes for every mile travelled, while drivers on non-motorway roads suffer 46 seconds of delays per mile covered.
