severe disruption - in excess of 3 hours delay or road closure
Here are the latest traffic and travel news from traffic update dot co dot UK at 17:44 pm. It's a bit of a traffic nightmare out there, folks, so buckle up and prepare for some delays. Starting off in Birmingham, we've got slow moving traffic on the M6 southbound between junctions 6 and 5, so you might want to hit the snooze button and give yourself some extra time. Heading over to Liverpool, there are reports of congestion on the A580 East Lancashire Road in both directions, so pack some snacks and put on a podcast to pass the time. In Manchester, there's heavy traffic on the M60 anti-clockwise between junctions 18 and 15, making it feel like a scene out of Fast and Furious minus the cool cars. If you're in London, beware of delays on the A4 Cromwell Road approaching the junction with Earls Court Road - you might just have enough time to finish that podcast episode. And finally, in Edinburgh, we're seeing slow traffic on the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass in both directions around the Sheriffhall Roundabout. Looks like it's time to break out the road trip snacks. That's it for now, stay safe out there and remember, patience is a virtue - especially when you're stuck in traffic.
