How the M62 behaves on a typical Monday, from our own record of National Highways’ live speeds. Other days: Tuesdays · Wednesdays · Thursdays · Fridays · Saturdays · Sundays.

M62 on Mondays: Monday 19 October 2026

How traffic on the M62 has moved hour by hour, compared with the same day a week earlier (Monday 12 October 2026) and with National Highways’ usual speed for each hour. Updated every five minutes.

Speeds are colour-coded the same way as our live M62 speed flow map: 50 mph and over, 30 mph to 49 mph, under 30 mph. The colour shows the speed actually achieved; the usual speed is shown in bold beside it.

How we worked this out. We regularly take National Highways’ live speed data for each stretch of the M62 and keep the average for each hour. These figures cover 24 hours of Monday 19 October 2026 and 22 of Monday 12 October 2026 (hours with no readings are left out). 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.
