The top 10 most delayed routes have been revealed ahead of what is said to be one of the busiest times on UK roads, as the summer holidays draw to an end.
Traffic information supplier Inrix has published the worst locations which it expects to be clogged up this weekend, as well as the expected amount of extra journey duration compared with free-flowing traffic.
Unsurprisingly, routes such as the M25 and M6 both appear prominently on the list, with journeys on the M25 clockwise between junction 14 and 24 estimated to take 3.3 times longer today and Saturday.
Below is the list of the 10 expected worst routes over the weekend, with the day and extra journey duration, compared with normal free-flowing traffic.Â
1. M25 clockwise (J14-J24) – Today – 3.3 times longer
2. M25 clockwise (J14-J24) – Saturday – 3.3 times longer
3. M6 southbound (J20-J11A) – Monday – 2.8 times longer
4. M23 northbound (J11-J8) – Saturday/Sunday – 2.8 times longer
5. M6 northbound (J11A-J20) – Monday – 2.7 times longer
6. M6 northbound (J29-J15) – Today – 2.5 times longer
7. M5 northbound (J29-J15) – Monday – 2.2 times longer
8. M4 eastbound (J32-J47) – Today – 2.1 times longer
9. A11 westbound Norwich to Thetford – Monday – 2.0 times longer
10. A66 westbound Scotch Corner to Penrith – Monday – 1.9 times longer

Given the amount of moaning minis on a site related to the A55 have to whinge about they'll be terribly disappointed not to feature in the list.

"Moaning minis"?
That noise old Minis made waa a justifiable moan at the idiot (I'm fairly sure it wasn't Issigonis) who elected to put the gearbox in the sump.
The A303 has a claim to this particular hall of fame, especially where it goes past that prehistoric folly Stonehenge, and Mrs Punter says 'Oooh, innit old!' and Arthur Punter jams on his brakes and says 'why did they put it so near the main road?'

More of a reference to the German artillery shell of WW1 !

Helpful thanks. There was a good chance I would have been on the M6 northbound on Monday, might replan that one.
