The M606 is the slowest motorway in the UK

The M606 has been identified as the slowest motorway in the United Kingdom. The M606 has an average speed of 24.62 mph (according to RAM Tracking).

Through the use of tracking software in commercial vehicles, the average speed limits across the UK were captured from the 1st of January to the 30th of June this year. The data was then split into the south and north of England and took into consideration both weekdays and weekends.

This data evidenced that the slowest average speed for a motorway in the UK was the M606 at 24.62 mph, closely followed by the M32 in south Gloucester at 26.15 mph and the M9 in Scotland at 26.74 mph.

The study has evidenced the usefulness of RAM Tracking, specifically for businesses to ensure that their fleet find the best routes up and down the country.

For leisure drivers, you have been warned if you intend to use the M606, M32 or M9. To make best of the information, please visit ramtracking.com.
