Map of M25 Junctions Connecting Other Motorways
If you are looking for which junctions on the M25 connect with other motorways you have come to the right place.
On this page we feature a map of the M25 junctions that are the connecting junctions with other motorways including the M1, A1(M), M11, M2, M20, M26, M23, M3, M4 and M40 clockwise from the central Northern point of the M25.
The connecting junctions are often some of the most congested and busy sections of the M25 motorway during rush hour and peak periods.
This is especially the case around the M40, M4 and M3 junctions on the west side of the motorway.
There is a lot of heavy commuter traffic travelling towards the Heathrow Airport area in the morning from around 5.50am usually, and away from the airport in the afternoon and early to mid evening, as the airport is a large employer in the area.
This is in addition to travellers heading for Heathrow for flights.
The traffic flow map highlights the build up of congestion as it is happening in real time in these areas in the morning and afternoon to evening in certain parts of the M25.
