The traffic in Ely travels at the same pace as the country’s capital, London, travelling at an average speed of just 14.59mph.
That speed is not far behind Cambridge where vehicles travel an average of 13.73 mph.
Dan Walton, managing director of Satrak Vehicle Tracking, which carried out the report, said: It’s nice to see that people are taking care in many of our cities, as these places are often busy and above all are not environments for speeding.
