Drivers on roads in Bradford and Leeds faced the most traffic-clogged journeys in England over the last year, according to the results of a new survey.

Roads in the Bradford-Leeds area have been named as the most congested in England, and seventh in Europe, out of 31 cities researched in a study into traffic times by a satellite navigation company.

TomTom's first quarterly Congestion Index suggests 28 per cent of Bradford-Leeds roads are regularly congested, slightly more than London with 27 per cent and Birmingham with 21 per cent.

The index compares levels between January and March 2012 with the same period in 2011.

According to TomTom's study, the two areas have seen the biggest increase in congestion in that period, with a five per cent rise, placing them seventh in their table of most gridlocked cities in Europe, up from 19th in 2011.

However, Councillor Val Slater, executive member for planning, transport and highways, feels the findings of the survey are questionable.

She said: "We use data collected by the Department of Transport to assess congestion levels across the district and last year, Bradford was placed 56th out of 152 local authorities in terms of average speed in the morning peak period.

"Many cities experience traffic congestion at peak travel times. At these times of the day certain roads in Bradford are also very congested, but not all of them. Bradford Council and Metro, the West Yorkshire Transport Authority, are both working hard to relieve traffic congestion on roads."

Among other projects, the Council hopes to introduce 10 buses per hour between Bradford and Leeds in a bid to get people out of their cars and onto public transport.

The index is based on real travel times data captured by vehicles driving the entire European road network and compiled from five trillion anonymous data measurements on TomTom's servers.

Thomas Crompton, managing director of Thomas Crompton Developments Limited, whose drivers have everyday experience of the district's roads, said the figures did not surprise him because he knew traffic congestion was a problem.

He said: "It is getting worse and worse. Anybody going home around half-four will know the main roads are terrible.

"I don't know what the answer is. Perhaps more bus schemes. The Council are trying, but maybe more people using public transport is the only way."

The Cycle Superhighway

The Cycle Superhighway between Leeds and Bradford is now open!

The CS1 Superhighway is just over fourteen kilometres of segregated cycle route between Leeds and Bradford, running from Leeds city centre along the A647 to the new Broadway shopping centre right in the heart of Bradford. Linking these two key cities provides people of all ages, ethnicities and status along the route with the opportunity to cycle and walk, away from the traffic.

In the coming months and years Leeds and Bradford will see increased levels of walking and cycling. This will give the region best opportunity to become less polluted, have a healthier population, create a safer urban environment and improve the potential for economic growth through access to employment and training.

Priorities have changed along the cycle superhighway route to make everyone's journeys go more smoothly, for example there is green surfacing, bus stop diversions, new approaches to junctions, shared use sections and some more changes. Take a look at our new Guide to Changing Priorities on the Superhighway Booklet....and remember, Whatever your journey, look out for each other.
We encourage you to take a look at the map below and go out and give the route a try, Rediscover that Cycling Feeling and tell us where CityConnect takes you!
The CS2 Superhighway, which runs from Leeds City Centre to Seacroft is due for completion later this year. Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates.

Now the building is finished, a range of new activities and support packages are in place to encourage everyone to use the route. Find out how you can be part of this on our Get Involved pages.

Keep an eye on our events page for details of the opening and all the activities taking place along the route.
