Leeds traffic: where the traffic is the worst this morning - including on M62
Motorists who are preparing to commute to work this morning are facing potential delays on the roads in and around Leeds.
The half-term is over and people are heading back into schools or the office once again this week. It has seen traffic start to build up on the roads across the area again.
Traffic is starting to build on the M62 heading towards Leeds this morning (February 25). AA Traffic is showing building delays on the eastbound side.
Its online map explains: “Delays of seven minutes and delays increasing on M62 Eastbound between J24 A629 (Ainley Top) and J27 M621 (Gildersome). Average speed 20 mph.”
Further back down the M62, there are also minor delays between J24 and J25. AA adds: “Delays of one minute and delays easing on M62 Eastbound between J24 A629 (Ainley Top) and J25 A644 Wakefield Road (Brighouse). Average speed 30 mph.”
