For months, drivers using the A38 and M5 have faced relentless traffic delays, turning their daily commutes into a frustrating ordeal. Unfortunately, motorists will need to brace themselves as the so-called ‘traffic nightmare’ is expected to persist until nearly Christmas. Roadworks, increased holiday season travel, and ongoing maintenance projects are contributing to the prolonged gridlock. Authorities advise planning journeys carefully and considering alternative routes where possible to avoid the worst of the congestion.
