The worst roads for delays and traffic queues in Cambridgeshire have been revealed in newly released data.

Analysis of figures from the Department for Transport show the average delay on A roads across the Cambridgeshire district increased since last year.

It comes as motorists faced more congestion than ever on the strategic road network, which includes 'A' roads and motorways, with the RAC blaming the issue on too many roadworks.

Drivers in Cambridgeshire were delayed by 27 seconds per mile on average when compared to the pace they would have made if driving at the speed limit in free-flowing conditions.

This was up from 25 seconds per mile the year before.

At a national level, drivers were delayed by 48 seconds per miles on local 'A' roads, the highest figure since 2019.

The figures are measured in seconds per vehicle per mile (spvm) which represents how many seconds a vehicle is held up for each mile travelled.

Some road delays in Cambridgeshire have increased so much that they exceeded the national average of 8.8 spvm last year.
