These are the UK’s worst motorways, according to a major new study
- The M25 has been named the UK's worst motorway in a new AA study, with drivers citing aggressive driving, speeding, and poor road surfaces.
- The M6 and M1 ranked second and third worst, respectively, with drivers mentioning dangerous conditions, frequent hold-ups, and lack of hard shoulders.
- Nine of the top 10 worst motorways have sections converted into "smart" motorways, a feature many drivers find concerning and ineffective.
- Congestion and poor road surfaces were also highlighted as major issues on UK motorways.
- The AA suggests that the conversion to smart motorways has not provided the intended benefits and may have contributed to increased congestion.
