BOURNEMOUTH has been ranked as the fourth most congested town or city in the UK.
The TomTom Traffic Index revealed the town's traffic problems are the fourth worst, behind only Edinburgh, London and Brighton.
It also reveals the most congested roads in the area are Christchurch Road in Boscombe, Castle Lane West, Poole Road, Ashley Road and Alder Road in Poole.
Stephanie Leonard, UK Traffic Advisor at TomTom, said: "“It’s time for traffic to change. In time, the rise of autonomous vehicles and car-sharing services will help alleviate congestion across the UK.
"However, policymakers can make real improvements now by using all the tools available to them to analyse traffic levels and impacts, so they can make better infrastructural decisions."
