A live traffic report now as the local low road is said to be bumper-to-bumper, while the high road is virtually deserted.

Drivers are being asked to take the high road to speed up their commute as well as relieve traffic on the ever-popular low road.

The low road has become increasingly popular over the years thanks to its wide lanes and how easy it is to get off.

While the high road has been described as tricky, complicated and not as satisfying to drive on as the low road.

‘The high road often makes more sense for me, but I find the low road a much more enjoyable drive,’ confirmed commuter Toby Carvery, 44.

Drivers taking the high road will be rewarded by no-one knowing they did the right thing.
