Michael_N   33 #1 Posted December 23, 2009 To keep up to date with the latest information, see the following webpages:  Motorway Traffic Cameras: http://www.sy-transport.co.uk/traffic/motorway_jam_cams.htm  Sheffield Traffic Cameras: http://www.sy-transport.co.uk/traffic/sheffield_jam_cams.htm  Road Closures: http://www.bbc.co.uk/travelnews/local/southyorkshire.shtml  Disruptions (Sheffield): http://sccplugins.sheffield.gov.uk/utc/prob1.asp  Bus, Tram & Train Disruptions: http://www.travelsouthyorkshire.com/News/Reported+Service+Alterations.htm  Feel free to add anymore. To keep information sites near the top of the page and to avoid people asking hundreds of questions, such as "is the 57/58 running to Stocksbridge" please keep general posts in this thread to a minimum, such as "it's now snowing in Handsworth" for these types of posts, please refer to the following thread: http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=532483  Some of you may also find the following page a good read, particularly those who don't have a clue how to drive in real snow, I'm talking about those who have being driving since 1985, before 1985, this is when we had real snow!!!  Driving Advice: http://www.sy-transport.co.uk/traffic/winter_driving.htm  Now starting to snow real heavy here in south Rotherham and looking at the recent traffic cameras, it also is in most parts of SY. Ice will also be a major factor in the early hours of tomorrow morning.  Stay Safe!!! Oh and have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year...

Michael_N Â Â 33 #3 Posted December 23, 2009 Not a problem. Anyone took a look at the Traffic Cameras over the last 5 minutes. Most roads are now covered in snow. Must be too much hard work for the gritters to handle, including the M1. Â Also a number of bus services are now disrupted due to the snow.

Sketty24 Â Â 10 #9 Posted December 23, 2009 When it says main roads only, how do you determine what routes are on main roads and what aren't? The bus I normally catch in Doncaster goes on dual carriageways then past the stadium, is that road a main one or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Michael_N Â Â 33 #10 Posted December 23, 2009 When it says main roads only, how do you determine what routes are on main roads and what aren't? The bus I normally catch in Doncaster goes on dual carriageways then past the stadium, is that road a main one or not? Â I'd say a main road were any of the "A" or "B" roads. The others with no assigned numbers, will be classed as minor roads, though I could be wrong here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Yes!  From where to where?  Current forecasts suggest that local movement will be OK.  (based on the sales of brussel sprouts) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
