"Is the M62 the slowest motorway in the UK?"

The Examiner has looked into the average speed of the UK's motorway and found that it was a close competition for most!

"A new study has revealed that West Yorkshire has two of the seven slowest motorways in the UK ... yet amazingly neither are the M62!

New figures from vehicle tracking firm RAM Tracking have shown that the M606 from the M62 into Bradford is the slowest motorway in the country and the

M621 from the M62 into Leeds isn’t far behind.

The average speed for the M606 is just over a torturously slow 24mph while the M606 isn’t much better at just over 26mph.

That means they are travelling slower than Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt at the 2009 World Athletics Championships."
