Top 10 Bridges That Cause Britains Worst Traffic! (Here's Why)

Every country has traffic jams. But Britain has a special way of making them worse — funnelling a whole region's cars toward one unavoidable pinch-point over the water. A bridge. From ancient town bridges never built for the modern car to giant motorway crossings carrying double what they were designed for, we're counting down the ten bridges that cause Britain's worst traffic. We look at the crossings that grind to a halt in high winds, the ones that stop dead to let a boat drift through, and the notorious chokepoints where a single incident backs traffic up for miles. Counting down to the busiest, most congested, most complained-about crossing in the entire country. When you're stuck on a bridge approach, there's no clever back route and no escape — everyone has to get across, right here, at the same time as you. This is the great shared misery of British driving.
