Map of Live M25 Traffic Flow
This is our live M25 traffic flow map. It shows the speed on every stretch of the M25 right now, in both directions, from Junction 1A at the Dartford Crossing all the way round to Junction 31. Green is moving freely, amber is slow and red is very slow or stopped. A closed carriageway is red with white crosses.
Tap any stretch to see its speed and how recently it was measured, and use Show junctions to see just the part of the M25 you are about to drive. The speeds come from National Highways' traffic data and the map is refreshed every five minutes.
The map is a summary. For the full picture before you set off, see all the latest M25 traffic news, the overhead message signs showing on the M25 right now, and the speed limits on the overhead signs. Our map of all the M25 junctions shows where every junction goes.
Untick all three to see just the speeds. We show the important overhead signs and the mandatory speed limits (red ring); see every overhead sign.
NOTE: The speed flow, overhead sign messages or other information shown on our live traffic speed flow map is updated every few minutes. We cross check the data and aim to provide warnings if there could be a delay or an inaccurate speed reading. There can be occasions, beyond our control, and despite our best efforts where the speed flow could be inaccurate. We cannot therefore guarantee the speed you can expect on any stretch of the motorway is always accurately shown. However we hope you will find our live traffic speed flow map a useful tool in trying to plan your journey. Safe driving.
