The vehicle subscription service Car Sloth has revealed the most congested roads around the UK and has given motorists tips on how to avoid the traffic.
The company determined their results by looking at the delay in seconds per vehicle per mile (SPVPM), which details the difference between the speed limit and the average speed for a journey.
The study found that London is generally the most congested location to drive in, with nine of the top 10 roads in the country located in the capital.
The most congested road in the UK is the A5204 in Westminster, with the A2198 in Southwark and the A3207 in Wandsworth coming second and third.
However, whilst London is the most congested area in the UK, its roads do not produce the most carbon dioxide, ranking 10th in the list of most polluted regions.
Outside of the capital, the Car Sloth survey found that the busiest road was the A2010 in Brighton, which had an average SVPM of 18.1 minutes.
Brighton also features the third busiest road outside of London, with the A2023 having an average SVPM of 13.2 minutes, making the city the second most congested in Britain.
With an average SVPM time of 14.5 minutes, another particularly busy road is the A3039 in the centre of Bath, which comes under the centre’s Clean Air Zone.
The survey also highlighted the most polluted areas of the country, by measuring the average levels of CO2.
According to Car Sloth’s data, the most polluted part of the UK is the North West, with the region estimating to generate 418.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
This is followed by the West Midlands, which is said to produce 372.8 billion tons of CO2, with Birmingham featuring a Clean Air Zone which restricts some high-emission vehicles from travelling in the city centre.
During the pandemic, traffic levels fell to their lowest since 1955, with most motorists in the UK working from home.
Whilst traffic levels have once again reached pre-pandemic levels, Bristol Street Motors have advised drivers to avoid congestion by trying to drive outside of the typical rush hour times of 8am and 5pm.
In addition, the company suggested covering longer distance trips on Sundays or either early in the morning or late at night.
