What to know about driving in Portsmouth

Portsmouth is a city built on an island on the South Coast of England, and therefore can be quite congested and crowded with only a few roads leading on and off the island. There are lots of one-way roads to try and help with traffic flow, but make sure to use your maps if driving through Portsmouth as they can get quite confusing. Although not as bad as some cities like Manchester, TomTom ranked Portsmouth 111th in it’s Traffic Index for congestion, with 52 hours on average being wasted stuck in traffic every year.

As it’s a relatively small city and built on an island, it can be difficult to find a parking space in the areas of Southsea, Eastney and Old Portsmouth, the areas found south of the city.
