Realistic route planner in peak times

Does anyone know if there is an online route finder that calculates a route on peak times?
A route I take to my grandfathers reacons to be 57minutes but takes me around 1hour and half in non peak times on the aa route finder.

Thanks in advance

  • Tom Tom (The sat nav people) have one, you can input the time and day you wish to travel and it changes the route accordingly. I haven't used it much so am unable to comment on its effectiveness, but it seems more directed at the need to avoid traffic than other sites.

    I can't post a link as i'm new but if you Google Tom Tom route planner it will take you to the page.

    Use the "Distance Measurement Tool" on Google maps and work it out for yourself.

    No website could ever accurately tell you a travel time...... Nothing/nobody can predict whether Arthur and Doris have driven their Yaris the wrong way around a major island and caused a county wide 500 car traffic jam.

    Google Maps told me it would take 3hrs to get to Spalding. I managed it in 2hrs 15mins....

    AA route planner says 15 mins for the 9.8 mile journey to where I used to work.

    On a bad day, with morning traffic and stuck behind Arthur and Doris doing 30 in a 60, it's a 45 min drive :mad:

    On a good day, at 5am it's a 6 minute drive :p
