With the M42 and M62 rated the worst in a recent survey, we ask Birmingham drivers which roads or motorways they find most frustrating to drive on and why. Are they satisfied with the quality of motorways and major A roads, or have roadworks and traffic delays seriously impacted their journey times? We also explore opinions on the balance between short-term disruption and long-term improvements. Hear what Brummies have to say in today’s vox pop!
