thanks for that snapshot mate, what site did you get it from and what do the numbers correspond to?
Reply ID 30455
Numbers relate to speed of traffic..........in MPH.......where there are zeros it means the traffic is at a standstill. Can't tell you where I get it from....

It has just taken me over an hour to get home from Hatfield. The M25 is closed between Junctions 24 & 27 in both directions including all the slip roads, traffic is coming off at South Mymms and at the M11. Traffic as a result are using the A1, A414 & A10.

Yikes....my journey home is from Cheshunt to Hertford on the A10. I just phoned a friend of mine who works at the Premier Travel Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) at South Mimms and he is saying its a nightmare....he had no details about what happened tho.

A lorry has gone through the central reservation, been closed both ways since sometime this morning so I heard.

at Waltham Abbey? oh crap. One of my colleagues has to go that way to get home (from Cheshunt to Romford) - ouch! :(

oh by the way, I just got home, it took me an hour and 10 minutes to get from Cheshunt to my home in the Foxholes on the A10. Apparently there has also been an accident on the A414 (2 lorries have crashed) and when I came off at Hertford from the A10 the traffic northbound was very slow.....what the hell is going on today? :(

M25 closed between Jnc 27 and Jnc 23 - both ways. Left Bluewater at 16.30 and it took nearly 2 hours to get home - which I think wasn't bad - considering it took over an hour from Cheshunt to Foxholes.

It's a shame the map doesn't cover Hertford. I use a phone based traffic alert service which is fine for the M1, A1 and A414 up to Hatfield but doesn't cover Hertford. So when the Eastbound A414 was backed up to the WGC roundabout I had no warning.

Hopefully as technology advances they may find a cheaper way to hover the other roads..... (or you could just wait until all cars are fitted with black boxes, you pay as you drive, and they'll know where YOU are!!!![:D])

Bizarre.. I left Waltham Cross at 4.45pm and was amazed it only took me 15 mins to hertford up the A10. It usually takes at least 1/2 an hr!
