A1(M) and A1 Traffic Flow Map
Live traffic flow information. Avoid travel congestion and plan a smarter route.
The A1M and A1 are two of the most important roads in the North of England. The A1M is a motorway that connects Newcastle upon Tyne, Durham, York, and Leeds. The A1 is a significant A-road that connects London, York, Newcastle upon Tyne, and Edinburgh.
Both roads are heavily used by commuters and tourists alike. The A1M is particularly busy during rush hour, and the A1 can be congested during peak times.
Several factors can contribute to traffic congestion on the A1M and A1, including:
- Roadworks
- Accidents
- Events
- Bad weather
If you are planning to travel on the A1M or A1, checking the traffic conditions before you set off is essential. You can do this by visiting the National Highways website or listening to local radio stations.
The A1M and A1 are vital transport links for the North of England. It is essential to be aware of the potential for traffic congestion on the roads and to plan your journey accordingly.
A1 and A1(M) Traffic Volumes and Busiest Sections
The A1 and A1(M) are among the most critical roads in England, connecting London with Edinburgh and passing through several major cities and towns along the way. The road is also one of the busiest in the country, carrying millions of vehicles every year. In this article, we will look at some of the traffic volumes and busiest sections of the A1 and A1(M) based on the latest data from the government.
Traffic Volume in Miles
The government reports that the total road traffic (vehicle miles) on the A1 and A1(M) in Great Britain was 9.8 billion in 2020. This was a decrease of 21.5% from 2019 when the traffic volume was 12.5 billion. The reduction was mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown measures that reduced travel demand.
The A1 and A1(M) accounted for 4.3% of the total motor vehicle traffic (vehicle miles) on all roads in Great Britain in 2020. The A1 and A1(M) also had the highest traffic volume among all ‘A’ roads in Great Britain, followed by the A14 (5.7 billion) and the A30 (4.8 billion).
The traffic volume on the A1 and A1(M) varied by region and country. The highest traffic volume was recorded in Yorkshire and The Humber (2.3 billion), followed by East of England (2 billion) and London (1.6 billion). The lowest traffic volume was recorded in Scotland (0.4 billion), followed by North East (0.6 billion) and East Midlands (0.8 billion).
Busiest Sections
The government also provides data on the annual daily traffic flow and distribution for significant sections of the motorway network in Great Britain. The data shows the average number of vehicles per day passing through each section of the road in both directions.
According to the data, the busiest section of the A1 and A1(M) in 2020 was between Junction 4 (Hatfield) and Junction 6 (Welwyn Garden City) in Hertfordshire, with an average daily traffic flow of 103,000 vehicles. This section is part of the A1(M), a standard motorway road with three lanes in each direction.
The second busiest section of the A1 and A1(M) in 2020 was between Junction 23 (South Mimms) and Junction 24 (Potters Bar) in Hertfordshire, with an average daily traffic flow of 101,000 vehicles. This section is also part of the A1(M), which connects with the M25 motorway at Junction 23.
The third busiest section of the A1 and A1(M) in 2020 was between Junction 63 (Chester-le-Street) and Junction 65 (Birtley) in County Durham, with an average daily traffic flow of 97,000 vehicles. This section is part of the A1, a dual-carriageway road with two lanes in each direction.
A1 Road Trip: Towns Along the Way
The A1 and A1(M) are two of England’s most essential and busiest roads, connecting London with Edinburgh and passing through some of the country’s most scenic and historic parts. Whether you are driving for business or pleasure, plenty of towns along the way are worth a visit. Here are some of the cities the A1 and A1(M) pass through, including their junction numbers, attractions and places to eat and drink.
- Stamford (Junction 17): a charming stone town with medieval architecture, historic churches and elegant Georgian buildings. Home to Burghley House, one of the finest Elizabethan mansions in England.
- Newark-on-Trent (Junction 28): a market town on the banks of the River Trent with a rich history dating back to Roman times. Explore its heritage at the Newark Castle, the National Civil War Centre and the Newark Air Museum.
- Doncaster (Junction 36): a large town famous for horse racing, railway heritage and Roman roots. Experience its culture and entertainment at the Doncaster Racecourse, the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery and the Cast Theatre.
- Wetherby (Junction 45): a small town on the River Wharfe with access to some of the most scenic countryside in Yorkshire. Visit its historical attractions, such as the Wetherby Bridge, the Wetherby Town Hall and the Wetherby Racecourse.
- Darlington (Junction 57): a town renowned for its role in the birth of railways. Learn more about its railway legacy at the Head of Steam Museum, the Darlington Railway Centre and Museum and the Locomotion Museum.
- Alnwick (Junction 81): a market town famous for its castle, gardens and Harry Potter connections. The Alnwick Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in England and has been used as a filming location for several movies and TV shows.
- Edinburgh (End of A1): the capital city of Scotland and one of the most beautiful and historic cities in Europe. Admire its architecture, art and culture at the Royal Mile, the National Museum of Scotland and the Scottish National Gallery.
Conclusion
The A1 and A1(M) are vital roads for connecting different parts of England and Scotland and facilitating trade, tourism and commuting. The road is also one of the most heavily used in Great Britain, with billions of vehicle miles travelled yearly. However, the traffic volume and flow on the road can vary significantly by location, time and season, so it is vital to check for any updates before travelling on this road.

Someone really needs to look at the signage for the Scotch Corner services.
I travel past there quite frequently and since the major upgrade works were completed there don’t seem to be a many advanced signs as there used to be.
There’s the usual “services in 3 miles” sort of sign in both directions, but there’s no signage in the last mile or so. There’s no sign to say “services next exit” and the sign prior to the exit has place/destination names on, but no mention of services or “Scotch Corner”.
When you actually reach the junction, there is a small sign at the back end of the hatched marked triangle between the main carriageway and slip Road which simply states “rest area”, but by the time you see it, it’s already too late to get onto the exit slip.
Prior to the major upgrades there were more signs, signs which included “services” along with all the other junction/exit/destination information and especially a “services” sign at the start of the 3,2,1 countdown markers.
I know where the scotch corner services are and I’ve missed the exit a couple of times, enough for me to put extra care and effort into looking for the signs. The signs just aren’t there, in either direction. Anyone that doesn’t know that section of road doesn’t stand a chance of accessing the services if they’re not using a sat-nav (programed to take them to the services) and relying solely on the expected signs that aren’t there.
No information about the incident on the A1(M) northbound near the M62 Ferrybridge junction on Saturday 13th May ’23 around 18:30 onwards. Total closure and diversions for northbound traffic which lasted over 8 hours with the section reopening around 3am.
Judging by the number of emergency vehicles and air ambulance on scene it was a major incident and yet there’s been no mention about it anywhere (other than a small post by the highways agency on twitter – social media is great, but it shouldn’t be the only source of information to assist with journey planning)
What a pathetic website. Over 2hrs A1 closed and nothing on here. What are they doing?
Slow moving large vehicle northbound on A1 between Newark and Bawtry, letting very few vehicles past and lorries are very slowly and carefully overtaking, long tailbacks due to this
Having last week left Newcastle Airport at 8pm there were 2 sets of roadworks and diversions on A1M Southbound. Fair enough, work has to be done. BUT the diversion signs were a disgrace. For someone who knew the area vaguely I was still having to turn round at various points when diversion signs had disappeared or did not say whether they were taking you North bound or South bound – lousy organisation!
Why is the southbound a1 near Biggleswade closed? The diversion signs just sends you back northbound!!!!
This has been closed all day.
Passing northbound there appears to be nothing happening.
You are totally wrong on a1m Jun ton 40/41 15 mins!!! More like 1 hour 15 mins we have been stuck 50 mins already and no sign of the end.
We can beat that-2 hrs from 12.50 to 2 .50 southbound-today Robert
A1m Northbound between Junctions 6-7. Stationary traffic. Accident up ahead.
PLEASE be very very careful driving in the rain on the A1 Southbound between SAWTRY and ALCONBURY there is a bend in the A1 which
causes standing water to settle there.
Unfortunately I know this as my car and another car aquaplaned right there in the freak weather that suddenly hit on Wednesday around 5.40pm.
I was not seriously hurt but I am severely traumatised.
*** The policeman who attended the scene told me this was how the accident happened. How can this not be rectified if they know this. I’m not the
first and wont be the last .
What is the point of this page when it doesn’t tell you when the road is closed. Because it’s closed now and it says nothing about it
this morning there was two overturned lorries, one on a1[m] and one on Somerby Close and a fire on Somerby Close.
there was standstill congestion in all directions. if you are a lorry or any transport there is a speed trap on the road. Brampton Hut aervices are empty.
A1 in both directions slow traffic due to accident involving a car and a lorry. Beautiful sunrise this morning. Fog lights needed on A14. Roadworks on bridge repairs completed just waiting for inside lane to reopen.
a1 accident 24 miles stretch 2-3 hours delay
keep an eye out police have been spotted hidden in the bushes please divert
Southbound junction 35, 5 cars have crashed, both lanes blocked. Huge queues!
