What's happening A41 Noth to Bicester?
Coming from Aylesbury this evening (Thurs 3-7-08) trying to get to Bicester Village before 7pm close. Took 45 mins to do 2 miles - gave up - and still nowhere near Bicester. The information on this site says a few mins only delay... Wrong!
Does anyone know if this is usually the case - or was tonight a one-off? I want to shop! (But instead had a 2 hour wasted trip - which probably cost loads in petrol...)

Love the new traffic cameras
Yours is a much better implementation than the BBC JamCams - they were their first but their script seems to load every camera in the country(taking ages and timing out) rather than letting you select a road. Well done.

As you can never tell what direction the HA have left their camera it is difficult to tell which side of the carriageway has the jam - unless it's sunny when you can do some boy scouts work on direction of shadows and where the sun would be etc..

signs
why are the signs left on saying animals debris or people on road all this does is cause a slowing of traffic for no reason,this happens everyday who controls the signs because they cause more slow traffic than some accidents.can you ask them to turn signs off when there is no hazard this would make my daily trip less stressful regards neil.

Incident on 21 June (Yesterday) between Clevedon and Weston-Super-Mare
Hi there, I'm not sure whether I can ask for witnesses of incidents here.

If you were travelling between Clevedon (J20) to Weston-Super-Mare (J21) yesterday between the hours of 5pm and 5:45 pm, and saw an incident as follows, please contact me at rep@irit.co.uk.

Yesterday between the hours of 5pm and 5:45pm, we (Me, My father, my sister, and father's partner) were harrased by either alcohol or drug using people. 2 Males (1 black 1 white). Then repeatedly tried maneuvering around us dangerously, braking, and one point actually stopping in the middle lane on the motorway, trying to get us to pull over to the hard shoulder, to settle this with physical solutions. My father tried dodging every dangerous attempt to do so, all the way down to the slip road to Weston-Super-Mare (J21). At which point, half way down the slip road they stopped in front of us completely, nearly making a collision and haulting the traffic onto the Weston-Super-Mare turn-off. The black man got out, and Incident

more roadworks!
Sorry but I was shocked when I saw that there are more roadworks more roadworks!ing on the 23rd of June. Anybody knows for how long and which area will be affected? Also, anybody knows who plans the schedule of these works? First 6-7 months of roadwords, followed by more than a week devoted to "cut the grass" and now more road words again! Couldn't they cut the grass while doing the works, so they don't have to disrupt the traffic twice? Just a bit fed up of traffic jams on the A55.
Thank you

Go Slow
On my way to work shortly, not looking forward to the Go Slow heading for Salford Quays.

I am a biker and whilst I can't see the point in annoying people trying to get to work this morning, at least they are doing something instead of just moaning about it!

Just read on www.SalfordQuays.org that they are planning to take over local radio stations as well!

traffic query
Hi

I have not done this route yet: traveling from borough to parsons green, going over the vauxhall bridge. I was hoping someone could tell me about the traffic at 7.30 am and then on the way home at about 5.30?

Please tell me, no one is on the roads and they are serenely relaxing to be on!!

Thank you

wrong lane
why is it that when you inadvertently find your self in the wrong lane, (which I might add is very easy around the Guildford city ring road system) just as you get into guildford,that nobody lets you in? I head towards the A281 to Worthing a nd it happens every time , I have to literally barge my way thru. How come?

camera function
super idea to be able to see road situations via static cameras WHEN THEY WORK or when they are not pointing skywards, downwards, or any other position but along the road you want to see!
There are far too many of them not functioning: is is this something that the Highways Agency overseers/police also have to put up with?

My journey today is from Maidstone to Stansted so I need to know exactly the state of play along the M20 Westbound and the dreaded M25 (a/c) and M11 corridor.

Otherwise, this is a really useful tool!

0845 TRAFFIC service & Texts
Following on from comments made by vmead on 24/4 and 2/5, I logged my home/work route about a month ago and have received a few texts and several e-mails about my route, however when I tried to use the phone service, I was advised that I had no route or mobile number logged and to visit the web site to set this up!! Is this likely to be resolved soon??

Road down to 1 lane both ways Manchester side of the Junction
I travel the oposite way to this each morning however this morning and on Friday the junction has been busy due to it being reduced down to one lane in each direct, traffic was queuing up the slip road on Junction 20 of the M60 as well as all the way back to Middleton along Manchester New Road, I have not seen it but I antisipate the evening journey would be the same northbound along Rochdale road as well as affecting Victoria Avenue A6109. I would estimate the worst of the delays could be up to 30 mins extra.

Lane Closure? I don't see no lane closure!
There is no lane closure due to roadworks neither northbound or southbound on the A556 between the M56 and Bucklow Hill.

Where DO you get your information from? And do you bother checking it?

On the other hand the road was completely clear so everybody has avoided this phantom roadworks.

Why the delays?
Why is this now queuing back every night from about 4pm?

Have they changed the delay on the lights on the roundabout or is there a diversion creating more traffic volume?

Does anyone know?

just to let people know the works on this road are still not complete and from the looks of it won't be done for a few more weeks at least.

Good news is that the A15 London gateway project is complete and working well as is the A15 paston bypass upgrade.

So just waiting on the Hampton works to be complete

Do U get txts?
Does everyone else get what they need with the mobile messaging services from KeepMoving?

I received one alert for my route to work shortly after I registered, so I know my mobile phone number and route to/from work are logged OK. But I've not received a txt message since then, nor does it recognise me when I phone 0845-TRAFFIC and ask for info about my route home.

Is it just me, or does this service simply not work?

Juntion 8/9 - Reading (10/11or12)
On Monday evening the M4 had major problems heading into Reading.

I was just going to go: 404 / A4 into town off juntion 8/9 but I followed a courier van (deadline I think) through some country roads and he/she got me to a quite corner of reading within 10min or so from leaving the 404 (not A4)

The rought is quite complex but I am willing to detail the shortcut if anyone is interested.

CCTV this weekend
Hi

We apologise for the lack of cameras over the weekend which was due to a technical issue beyond our control, as opposed to a deliberate attempt to restrict the images.

Whilst we understand that the cameras can be very useful, we still supply live delay and incident data as well as live audio bulletins, all free of charge, which we believe offers a highly reliable source of traffic information.

That said, we'll keep on our toes to prevent any future issues.

Many thanks for your comments.

Useless TMC info
I was traveling southbound to Stoke on Trent on Saturday (22nd) when the A50/A34 to the A500 was jammed up due to the M6 being shut. This was not shown on my TomTom One but as the incident had only just happened I put it down to the time lag between incident. However, as I travelled back 2 hours later the southbound road was slow moving (less than 5mph) between the A500 and Arclid, which is approximately 6 miles. I checked my TomTom and it showed the M6 problem but nothing on the A34/A50. This leads me to the conclusion that TMC is a load of rubbish. Any explanation why this wasn't being included in the traffic updates.

I have no faith in the system whatsoever and now rely on local radio traffic reports.

Sunday 23rd and still no camera images ? Yesterday the site administrator said the HA
sometimes "switched off" the cameras
Are they still "switched off" or has the site got problems. If they are switched off has anyone
from Keep Moving been able to make contact with the HA and ask WHY and also WHEN the
images will be restored
