A poll of 2,000 adults revealed road users end up stuck in congestion during a fifth of their journeys, for an average of nearly three hours a week.

While those who leave early will set off an average of 26 minutes in advance to miss the traffic. Despite this, 36 percent have been late for work because of traffic, while 23 percent have been delayed for a social event.
