If you hate travelling on these roads, you're definitely not alone
If you hate travelling on Norfolk and Suffolk's major A roads - you're definitely not alone.
The A47's come fourth bottom in a survey by Transport Focus - which looked at driver satisfaction.
More than 9000 road users took part in the watchdog’s survey about their last journey on a motorway or major ‘A’ road managed by National Highways.
Just 66% of users of the A47 were overall satisfied with their last journey on the road.
Meanwhile, only 61% of users of the A12 were overall satisfied with their last journey on the road - meaning the road came second last in rankings.
The M6 was rated the least popular motorway with the lowest level of satisfaction (66%).
The A27 received the lowest level of overall satisfaction (59%).
What about the most popular roads?
At the top end of the table, the most popular motorway in England is shown to be the M5 motorway between the Midlands and the South West.
It had the highest overall satisfaction at 82%.
Coming second was the M40 at 82% overall satisfaction, doing well again after being the most highly rated road last year (79%).
As for ‘A’ roads, the A303 has been rated the best road in England.
The road which connects the M3 and the A30 from London to Devon and Cornwall had the highest overall satisfaction at 85%.
Anthony Smith, chief executive of the independent watchdog Transport Focus said:
“England’s motorways and major ‘A’ roads are at the heart of how many of us move around the country. It’s good to see the M5 and M40 perform well.
“As the so-called backbone of Britain, the M6 is a vital route which National Highways must continue to focus on delivering safe, smooth journeys. We’ll continue to keep pushing National Highways to improve these issues.”
