An increase in average delay indicates an increase in the level of congestion.</p><p>These statistics come from the table CGN0502b, which is published annually in February. The full table can be accessed using the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/average-speed-and-delay-on-local-a-roads-cgn05%23table-cgn0502" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/average-speed-and-delay-on-local-a-roads-cgn05#table-cgn0502</a></p><p> </p><p>The Department does not produce statistics for congestion at the regional level for the Strategic Road Network. Highways England keeps the trunk road and motorway network in England under constant review, but has made no recent specific assessment of trends in the level of congestion through the East Midlands. In March 2017, Highways England published its Route Strategies presenting a high level view of performance and constraints on the existing road network as well as recommending areas for further study.
