The major Leeds road named worst for delays in the whole of Yorkshire

Major roads have been revealed the worst for delays in Yorkshire, according to a new study. Research from car insurance comparison website Quotezone found Hull’s A1165 saw the third-highest delays in Yorkshire up to Wednesday, June 29.

The worst road for delays in Yorkshire was Leeds’ A6029, with delays of 129.1 seconds per mile, followed by Bradford’s A6181, 124.1. The M62 eastbound within Junction 36, in the East Riding, had the fifth-worst delays with 68.5 seconds per vehicle per mile.

The survey showed drivers on the road, which runs from Holderness Road to the roundabout with Ferry Lane, faced delays of 108.8 seconds per mile on average. Quotezone founder Greg Wilson said it came ahead of a surge in traffic over the summer as schools break up for their holidays and families set off for trips away.
