only in this country can they keep motorways closed for so long for while clearing away accidents etc. It’s shameful and embarrassing.
on the m6 last night j6 to j7 no warnigs of road works on overhead signs.the motorway was closed at J7 this part of the motorway allways seams to have road works.are the road works not done correctly the first time.?????
Delays on the M6 J38/40, you say between 15 minutes and 3 hours. Guess what I’ve been stuck in it for 7 hours. Try telling the public the truth for a change!!!!!
You are WELL OUT with your suggestion of “10 minutes delay” on the M6, around Blackpool – take us 35 minutes to move about 6 miles!!?? 😕😕
Injunction 32 north bound to junction 33 open
.
M6 lane 3 and 4 closed m6 B 281.5
M6 Northbound Junction 20 heading to Lockerbie – Escorted 4.26m wideload.
Congestion between junction 14 and 15 northbound. Been here for over an hour now yet not listed on your site??? No idea why this is happening or any estimate of how long we are expected to just sit here???
M6 southbound at junction 12 at a standstill being held by police while roadworks are being set up. This is too early for any start times for the usual roadworks down here and is unacceptable. Isn’t it about time these delays were actually notified on this site before we all get stuck in them!!!
M6 Northbound at junction 31 traffic being held at a standstill by police
M6 Warrington – 3 lanes closed due to severe accident. Traffic at standstill
M6 j34 southbound stationary
M6 southbound traffic at a standstill at junction 10a
M6 j13 – j14 northbound, stand still traffic
The M6 comes up North which might surprise you get upto date there has been a closure between 33 n 32 can we have an UPDATE
M6 southbound at junction 43 Carlisle traffic at a standstill due to accident
M6 northbound junction 3.. 10 minute delay????? Been sat here an hour already!
The middle lane on the m6 has not moved in the past hour due to animals on road the cars haven’t moved at all since the congestion started
M6 northbound junction 21a – 3 out 4 lanes closed causing slow trailing traffic
Thank you for your live update comment, much appreciated.
