All top ten roads named in the report were in London and all were at their worst in the afternoons.

Londoners face the second worst congestion in Europe, second only to Brussels wasting approximately 82 hours in 2013, ten hours more than the previous year.

The Traffic Scorecard Report shows traffic congestion in Europe is on the rise for the first time in two years and the UK is ranked sixth for the worst traffic in Europe with drivers wasting approximately thirty hours last year in gridlock.
