Traffic jams can be real issues. They can sometimes turn a simple 30 minute journey into a long haul trip.
GOV.UK data, compiled into a report by Cromwell Trucks and Online Marketing Surgery, has unveiled the 10 “most traffic-clogged” local A roads in Sheffield (excluding motorways and “major” A roads).
The data records how the average amount of seconds a vehicle is held up per mile when travelling on the roads.
Take a look through this collection of images - where the Google streetview cars have managed to avoid the government’s reported traffic clogs - to find out which roads are the busiest.
