Here are the latest traffic and travel news from traffic update dot co dot UK at 14:54 pm. It's a bit of a traffic maze out there today, folks, so hold on to your steering wheels. Starting off in the M25, we've got some delays near junction 9 in Leatherhead, so make sure to pack some extra patience for your journey. Looking further up north, the M6 near Wigan is experiencing some slow-moving traffic, so if you're heading that way, maybe consider breaking out the snacks to keep you company.Over in Manchester, the A56 is looking congested near Sale, so maybe leave a few minutes earlier if you've got places to be. And for all you early birds out there, the A38 near Derby is not looking too grand this morning, so maybe sip on that coffee a bit slower before hitting the road.While you navigate through these traffic hurdles, just remember to keep calm and carry on. And if all else fails, just turn up the radio and enjoy the ride. Stay safe out there, folks!
