By Council advice to motorists after Hull traffic problems
Hull City Council has offered advice to motorists in Hull after traffic in the city was gridlocked on Tuesday.
Main Road, Hedon Road, Freetown Way, Beverley Road and Spring Bank were all affected by traffic jams.
A spokesperson has cited a combination of people travelling to work, reopened businesses and schools as the cause of increased traffic.
Motorists have been advised to consider staggering journey times, using public transport or cycling to avoid traffic jams.
Ongoing roadworks had also caused disruption.
Recent updates to Hull’s road network include new cycle lanes and works at the Castle Street junction with the A63.
“Motorists are asked to stagger journey times and consider using the cycle lanes and public transport.
“Even if just 5% of motorists choose a more sustainable form of transport, there would be a significant reduction in congestion levels,” the council said.
