Hi Im Travling To Exminster from Bristol tomorrow on the m5 eny advice mite try 4 or 5 in the morning.what do you think
Not sure what happened but the traffic is mad
Roadworks have just started on the roundabout at junction 9 M5 which has caused chaos to the surrounding roads leading to/from the roundabout.
It normally takes me 3/4 minutes to get onto the M5, last night (5.30pm) it took an hour!!
is the m5 southbound between j21 and j22 closed at night? We live along the A370 and lorries have been thundering past from about 2200 onwards.
Constant traffic jams from j2 Oldbury towards j1. I believe the cause is the 60 speed limit imposed on the slim premise of air quality. These jams cause more Co2 than if the limit was at 70
About to join m5 south at m42 junction. Travelling to Bridgewater. Any traffic comments or advice for today please
Trying to find information about accident on m5, Strensham services northbound. Site states that there have been no accidents there today but several friends have reported being stuck in the traffic there. What is going on?
Travelling on the M5 since 2pm today and after 4 hours we’ve reached the Gordano services. Terrible traffic – avoid if you can. Maybe charter a boat if you need to travel north.
M5 southbound near junction for weston-super-mare . major incident heavy emergency service response , lanes closed , traffic backed up at a standstill
M5 accident reported past j23 northbound.
