Which motorways are going to be busiest as millions hit roads before Christmas

With upcoming train strikes set to leave more of us driving home for Christmas this year, analysts have examined road traffic statistics to determine the odds that delays will occur on UK motorways in the lead up to the holiday. 2021 saw almost 18 million cars hit the road as drivers made the commute to see their loved ones in time for the festive celebrations, despite the fact that more than 600,000 Brits were being forced to isolate during this period.

This year, the AA has forecast a slight decrease on this statistic, with 17,845,855 commuters projected to be on the road on both Friday 23 and Saturday 24 December.

Ahead of the big drive home for Christmas, analysts at KingCasinoBonus.uk have examined data on the busiest UK motorways throughout the holiday season to predict where and when Brits are most likely to experience increased delays and journey times on their festive journeys.
