M25 Traffic on Tuesdays
Tuesday is a typical working day on the M25, which makes it a good day to compare against. When a Tuesday is slow, an incident, roadworks or a closure on a connecting motorway is often the reason.
The charts set the latest Tuesday beside the Tuesday before and beside National Highways' usual speed for each hour, in both directions round the loop.
