    Why M25 traffic news never goes quiet

    The Department for Transport counts M25 motorway traffic hour by hour. Their count beside junction 14 shows what every regular M25 driver already suspects — on this motorway there is no quiet time, which is exactly why the latest M25 traffic news today matters more here than on most roads.

    14,457

    M25 traffic in one hour

    vehicles past junction 14 between 7am and 8am, both directions. That is 241 a minute — and any M25 accident or crash in that hour turns into delays within minutes.

    12,808

    in the quietest hour

    and the quietest counted hour on the M25 is midday, not mid-afternoon. This motorway does not have a lull — it has a slightly smaller peak, all day, every day.

    12.9%

    is the whole spread

    between the busiest and quietest hour of the M25 working day. The motorway runs near capacity from breakfast to teatime, so roadworks and closures bite whenever they happen.

    11,608

    cars at 6pm

    The busiest M25 hour for cars is the evening; for lorries it is 11am. Two rush hours, one motorway — and two different kinds of traffic news through the day.

    That is why one lane closed on the M25 becomes a queue so quickly, and why it takes so long to clear. There is no spare capacity to absorb an accident and no quiet hour to recover in. It is also why we update this page with the latest M25 traffic news and accident reports for today every few minutes rather than a few times a day — on a motorway this busy, news that is an hour old is not news.

    Hourly figures are from the Department for Transport’s own count point beside junction 14, counted on 23 April 2025 and published on 20 May 2026.

    M25traffic.co.uk is dedicated to the latest M25 news updated every few minutes, 24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. More features coming. See www.trafficnewsengland.co.uk for ALL ENGLAND traffic news and M1Traffic.co.uk for M1 dedicated news.
