The M25 is slowest around 17:00, averaging 50.1 mph against 63 mph when it is clear. Traffic is heaviest around 15:00.
Typical weekday pattern from 5 National Highways roadside sensors along the route, June 2026. Bar height is traffic volume, colour is average speed. Overnight hours carry too little traffic to judge, so they are shown as quiet.
The M25 circles London and carries more traffic than any other British motorway, with the Dartford Crossing and the M4, M40, M1 and M11 interchanges acting as its regular pinch points. Clockwise and anticlockwise delays behave differently, so incidents here are listed with their direction and junction range. Live incidents, roadworks and closures below refresh every 5 minutes.
