The RAC explained how junction 2 is a particularly congested route due to it connecting to the M25 at junction 12, and the M3 at junction 2.
"With heavy traffic and lanes to navigate as the routes split, it's important to be alert and plot your route early," the insurer detailed.
Meanwhile, the RAC stated that junction 3 near Lightwater can get congested due to road users making their connection into West London from the M4 down the A322.
