45 minute drive radius map

How far is a 45 minute drive?

On typical road speeds a 45 minute drive reaches about 12 to 18 miles through towns and 28 to 38 miles on open A roads and motorways. That usually covers most of a county. A plain mile radius circle can't show this: it ignores rivers, one way systems and the roads you can actually drive on. This map follows OpenStreetMap roads, so the shape stretches along fast roads and pulls in where the roads are slow.

Using a 45 minute drive as your service area

A 45 minute drive suits specialist or longer jobs: ear wax removal clinics, carpet cleaning, trades and treatments where there are fewer providers and customers expect you to travel further.

How to make the map

• Type your address, a town or a place name and press search.
• Keep the 45 minute ring, or add up to two more rings to compare times.
• Choose drive, walk or cycle.
• Share the link, embed the map on your website or download the image or GeoJSON file.

Good to know

Times use typical road speeds, not live traffic, so allow extra time at rush hour. Drag the pin or click the map to move the centre.

Questions

• How many miles is a 45 minute drive? About 12 to 18 miles in towns and 28 to 38 miles on main roads, depending on the roads around the start point.
• Is a drive time map the same as a mile radius? No. A drive time map follows real roads and speed limits, so it reaches further along main roads and less far through towns.
• Can I use the area for online booking? Yes. In Offlico you can set a drive time from your base as the area customers can book you in.
