According to last year’s Government data, the A103 which stretches from Holloway to Hornsey had the longest average delays of any A-road in north London.
Average delays on the A103, which starts as Hornsey Road, before merging into Crouch End Hill and Tottenham Lane, have almost tripled since 2022.
Last year, each vehicle was held up on average for five minutes and 36 seconds for every mile travelled.
This compares to average delays of just under two minutes for every mile the year before.
It is not clear exactly why there has been such a dramatic change in journey times on the road, but the junction with Holloway Road has undergone major road works since April last year.
New pedestrian crossings and lights have been installed, and pavement space at the junction increased.
Here is a full list of the most delayed roads in north London, as well as the average hold-up each vehicle experiences for every mile travelled.
- A103 (Holloway to Hornsey) – 5 minutes 36 seconds
- A401 (Central London to Angel) – 4 minutes 40 seconds
