According to the most recent report by the AA, the M25 is the worst road in the UK when it comes to frequent road closures.
The report states that between the time period of January and August of 2009, the M25 was closed for a total of eight and a half days, which is over 200 hours, because of various incidents and accidents.
Also included in the AA list was the M2 which was closed a total of two days during the same time span.
After releasing the findings the AA is urging the Government to take proactive measures to combat road closures and congestions after accidents occur.
President of the AA Edmund King, stated that Britain needs to be much more advanced in their thinking style, when it comes to how road closures are handled.
King continued to say, that while it is understood that fatalities require investigation, at the same time, the way that traffic and closures are handled as a result, needs to be re-evaluated.
Additionally he stated that while the new rail systems are helpful, it is important to remember they do not solve the problem, since they account for only a small percentage of travellers, and that most people still rely on roadways.
