I realised this is no longer the case last year, when I was a passenger in a car and it took over one hour to travel down King St., at around five p.m., just trying to get from Blackburn Rd., to the roundabout near the viaduct.
Today was even worse, as it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon. Fifty two minutes from Union St, along the short stretch of Blackburn Road, to the other side of the roundabout on Eagle St.
Our driver said this is a regular occurence now , at any hour of the day.

Well its well known at the moment of the roadworks at the junction of Blackburn Rd & King St. traffic lights which is causing massive gridlock in the area. As for Tesco's causing extra traffic, I doubt it there's hardly anyone shopping in the store. There was always tailbacks there & on Eagle St at rush hour even before Tesco's was built. A sign of the times too many people have cars, those that work all seem to leave at the same time to get home, its not just Accy, have you tried coming past Blackburn hospital at rush hour?
