What's traffic in Basildon like?

Afternoon all!

Wasn't sure if this was for the lounge or GG, apologies if I got it wrong!

Need to get from Sainsburys / Christopher Martin Road, to the station and back again at about 9:30am... it's only a 10 minute drive/4 miles so easy peasy in theory... but is Basildon a mega grid-lock fest on a weekday morning, or a breeze to zip in and out again?

Cheers!!!

Should be clear - roads generally run well in Bas.

I'd say you have 3 different routes you could take on this should you need options, but at 9.30am they should all be clear.

Ten mins should be fine. However, if you do it after 1 March, beware the major roadworks around the Nevendon Junction and forthcoming permanent one-way restriction (westbound only) on Christopher Martin Road. The diversion during the works will impact on your route.

Thanks! Journey is this Friday so sounds like I'm good to go!

Lost?

Should be easy. No one in Basildon, or Essex come to that, ever gets in thr correct lane though.
