How we worked this out. We regularly take National Highways’ live speed data for each stretch of the M60 and keep the average for each hour. These figures cover 24 hours of Tuesday 20 October 2026 and 24 of Tuesday 13 October 2026. Hours are UK time. A speed shown for the whole road is the average across its stretches, so a short queue may not move it much: the cards point to the slowest stretches.
