| All but one of the four northbound motorway lanes had to be closed down for several hours creating jams and tailbacks. |
| But the traffic tailbacks and jams, which stretched right back into York, lasted well into the rush hour. |
| In Edinburgh, six-mile tailbacks of commuter traffic brought gridlock to much of the city for more than three hours. |
| No one was injured, but long tailbacks built up while the road was cleared and the crash barriers repaired. |
| Police sealed off the traffic-light-controlled crossroads for more than two hours, causing tailbacks as rush-hour traffic was diverted. |
| Also let's not forget the traffic lights on the Salisbury road also creating major tailbacks. |
