This drone footage shows the daily commuter traffic congestion hell on A40 and A48 roundabout, one of the main transit routes between Gloucester/ surrounding area and the Forest of Dean. This traffic queue regularly stretches back 5 miles where drivers are stuck in it for up to an hour and a half. This route have been over capacity for years since everything is constrained by the Severn river crossing and the traffic from the Forest of Dean heading north east must use it. These roads are also subject to flooding and have been closed several times by the Police in recent years due to being under water. This situation explains why the Forest of Dean struggles to create jobs in its region and has some of the highest levels of deprivation in Gloucestershire
