The A 12's Backed Up Again, But Why?
Until the 2000s I used to whizz up the A12 from Romford to Colchester without slowing down below the speed limit nearly all the way. Last time I used it it was backed up to Harold Hill and didn't clear by Chelmsford so i turned off, and when I risked it today heading to the coast it was a lot better, but suddenly hit a wall at Hatfield Peverel, where I left (for nothing, you can't go anywhere useful from there), and carried on to Witham and went round the back roads east. I saw the road a couple of times passing by and it only cleared just south of Colchester. The only clue was an ambulance passing us but there were plenty all over Essex that day so may have been a red herring. Does anyone have a way of not just finding current jams but earlier ones to find what caused them starting with today's?

Hmmm
Loking again at that link, it seems that clicking through to the Highways England website doesn't work (because the incidents have cleared). However anything which was picked up by the media is liely to retain valid links.(So look at the light type to see where those links go to before clicking on them)

PS: Knowing (from your previous posts) that you're interested in old buses and old road signs, have you ever travelled a bit further up the A12 to the Ipswich Transport Museum?
They've got plenty of buses

It's my guess that the A 12 could to come to a standstill with the road works planned for the next few months.

I said I didn't need to go below the speed limit, ie I was on the speed limit. I think my grammar was adequate. Oddly the traffic reports online include stuff up to a year old, and seem to randomly save some and wipe others within hours of the event. On the way LBC said traffic was backing up from Gants Hill when I was a mile west, and it was fine (for the first time in years). My phone often pops up local weather and traffic conditions but wouldn't be looking when I was driving and once you hit the jam is too late. I want to use it once more this year and hope it doesn't require a lengthy detour for the third time in a row.
