<p>Highways England do not hold data for average waiting times for cars using the
Dartford Crossing. The Dartford Crossing was designed to be a Free Flow Crossing without
toll booths.</p><p> </p><p>With regard to average crossing times, the table below
contains the available average all-day journey time data for the northbound route
from M25 Junction 2 to M25 Junction 30 including the Dartford Thurrock Crossing. This
data has been collected by Highways England and processed on a consistent and comparable
basis since June 2018. With regard to data collected from 2014 to June 2018, I refer
my Rt Hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 7 November 2018 to <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Commons/2018-10-30/185533/"
