Exclusive: congestion climbed above 2019 levels in August as people went back to using cars after lockdown
Road traffic congestion in outer London is now far higher than it was last year as people have gone back into their cars after lockdown, according to new data.
Congestion climbed above 2019 levels in August, and has increased to nearly a fifth on average above last year, in roads outside the capital’s central congestion charging zone, even while it has dropped sharply in the centre of the city.
