mc55   10 #313 Posted October 16, 2014 well came through tonight at 5.30pm, all lanes open and scarcely a car in sight ! it was a heavenly run  ---------- Post added 16-10-2014 at 18:59 ----------  Saw something very similar to this the other day except in daylight. Got in Morrison's lane, swerved all the way left then swerved back right to get into the coned off right lane. All happened just in front of me but luckily nobody alongside & I drive the route every day so try to give plenty of space (notwithstanding terrible driving it is still a fairly shoddy bit of road at the moment!).  I too witnessed one of these earlier in the week ! it was slightly bemusing to observe (I was the car behind, fortunately with a good amount of distance between us), but could have had disastrous consequences Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Justin Smith   10 #316 Posted October 17, 2014 Yep, driving in Sheffield at the moment is an absolute chore. Get through all the carnage in Sheffield, then its 50mph on the motorway in every direction! ARGHH!  Driving in Sheffield (particularly in the peak hours) is always a chore. Actually, driving in any city (or even town.....) is a chore in the rush hour.  Final point. Am I the only one who finds that traffic (apart from in the rush hours) is actually busier on Sundays than in the week ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

phawley   10 #322 Posted November 4, 2014 About 10-30 this morning it took me nearly 40 minutes to get from Lidle on Halifax Road to Kilner Way, only time the traffic moved was when someone did a u turn to try a different route, I put radio Sheffield on to see what the problem was and they said that there was a supertram accident on Penistone Road must have been some accident for the tram to finish up on Penistone Road.
