I OFTEN think Jane Wiedlin had been stuck on the roads of North Worcestershire and the Black Country when she was inspired to write her 80s classic “Rush Hour”.
Yes, it’s that time of the day again when many of us will be leaving work and driving in the rush hour to get home.
To help you get there without too many delays, why not use our helpful traffic and travel page?
A quick look around the region has thrown up hot spots you might wish to avoid, including the following:
*A449 Chester Road North Broadwaters, Kidderminster. Queueing traffic and partially blocked due to an accident on A449 Chester Road North both ways at Sion Hill. The accident is at the bottom of Sion Hill near to Broadwaters Chippy.
*A4101 High Street, Dudley. Speed restriction of 20 mph due to roadworks and temporary traffic lights on A4101 High Street at B4179 High Oak.
*A435 Birmingham Road, Mappleborough Green. Heavy traffic on A435 Birmingham Road between B4497 Icknield Street Drive and A4189 Warwick Highway.
*Henderson Way and High Street Blackheath, Oldbury. Queueing traffic on Henderson Way and High Street between Birmingham Road and Powke Lane.
