Belfast '˜worst in the UK for traffic jams'
Belfast is the UK city with the most serious traffic hold-ups '“ and the 14th worst in the world '“ with average journey times 40 per cent slower than if traffic was flowing freely, according to a new study.
This figure rises to 86 per cent during the evening peak in the Northern Ireland capital, with drivers wasting an overall average of 195 hours a year behind the wheel – equivalent to more than eight days.
The figures came to light in an analysis of journey times for the TomTom Traffic Index.
