The M18 is busiest around 16:00, and at the sensors along this route it keeps moving: even in that hour traffic averages 60.3 mph.

The M18 links the M1 near Rotherham with the M62 near Goole, passing Doncaster and the M180 split for the Humber ports. It is a freight-heavy route, and incidents at the M1 and A1(M) interchanges account for most of its delays. Live incidents and closures refresh every 5 minutes.
