M1 mess around sheffield

[swfc2001 10]

Sheffield is becoming a nightmare to get around road works everywhere !!

[ECCOnoob 1,050]

Give us a clue and give us some specifics.

 

Which roadworks? Where in Sheffield? Which Part of the M1 are we talking about?

 

They are certainly not "everywhere"

Closures have been going on for months and are well advertised and on the motorway signs prior if you take notice of what is said on them

Interesting. I wonder why sat nav never picks this up or indeed things like my RAC traffic app.

Cos they're both crap.

Use google maps mate, free and uses live traffic info to get you around.

Diverted me off the M1 Friday teatime, saved me an hour and half sat in traffic.

It's the future, I've used it

A bit of research online and 2 minutes later you have the info. Not hard really

It is when I'm driving. And why isn't made available to sat nav companies etc? It is for works during the day, very rarely at night. And it isn't always online either. Not so long ago they were resurfacing the m42 overnight and as I was a passenger I was able to check on my phone. I couldn't find anything anywhere.

 

Anyway, you go back to being awesome.

Daytime isn't an issue - it's on the radio, it's on sat nav.

How would the sat nav company let the device know unless you've happened to update it on that day?
