Government data shows the extent of roadworks across Leeds and Bradford.
The next government is being urged to increase transport spending to speed up road repairs, as figures showed West Yorkshire had some of the most snarled up highways in the region.
The DfT said it had diverted millions of pounds towards highways maintenance that would have been spent on the now-scrapped HS2 northern leg. Leeds is currently undergoing the latest of several large phases of roadworks in and around the city centre, with major disruption to traffic near the New York Road flyover.
He added: "We pay a lot of money towards taxes and stuff for vehicles. But we're not seeing any progress on roads. I would appreciate if they get it sorted.”Mr Murison acknowledged that "you can't improve anything in our road network without some disruption" and praised efforts by local authorities in both Leeds and Bradford to make the network more "resilient".
