Arguably, the M1.

The M25 in terms of traffic volumes. The M6 in terms of distance covered.

The M1 and M6 cover the "backbone" of the country. The M25, circling
London, is probably the busiest. Depends where you want to go, really
:-)

I'd have to say the M25 -- traffic from the continent to most of the
country will use it. The M20 has an alternative route (A2/M2), but the
M25 (especially if you include the dartford crossing) is pretty
unavoidable (A25 through Redhill etc? Blackwall Tunnel!? A26
Tonbridge/Tunbridge Wells?)

The M6 A52-A556(M) is important, however traffic from Manchester could
take the M62/M1, A42 to Brum. The M62 over the Pennines is probably
next, there aren't many cross-pennine routes. Scotland only has 2 roads
into the rest of the country/world of course, so they are pretty
important too, but if you lose the M25, the A14 is your only real hope.
