Traffic Problems What Does It Mean

[gordiescotland1]

Hi there
I am an anxious traveller. Tonight I am travelling 20 miles with my friend to a meeting. Earlier on there was an accident A90 Northbound traffic Scotland says delays of 10 minutes but that was an hour an half ago. No update since. Another website said lanes restricted, allow extra journey time what the heck does that mean. ?

The accident itself happened hours ago and that will have been cleared, any damage to barriers etc may have resulted in lane closures.

Simply addon a little extra time for your journey.

If you have a real time sat nav it should tell you the best rout and expected journey time and show any heavy traffic/queue's in red on the route may

Hi I got there ok. One lane was closed totally and there were several police cars and recovery vehicles in the lane. We were delayed for a maximum of 2 minutes. But I have had chest pain palpitations nausea neck headaches and anxiety all afternoon worrying about what might have happened. What a complete waste of energy. A simple rule of thumb for me, for now, hard as it might be I'm not going to look at road reports or traffic Scotland before I go anywhere again. It's not worth it.

Remember the mantra.

Glad you went and all was well.
