They divided the number of vehicles by the length of roads to reveal the highest daily traffic flows.

Second was neighbouring Hillingdon at 8,670 while Thurrock in Essex, registered 7,966 vehicles a day.

Enfield, Tower Hamlets and Kingston upon Thames also feature – logging 7,611, 7,609 and 7,574 vehicles respectively.

The lowest local authority traffic flows were seen in the Shetland Islands (585) and Eilean Siar, which is on Lewis and Harris (469).

The Isles of Scilly recorded just 173 vehicles a day.

The Greater Manchester towns of Salford (7,530), Bury (7,348), Rochdale (6,017) and Bolton (5,592), all came in the top 50 busiest areas.
