Traffic build up like a bitch at all the junctions around the city fella. Boslam and tunstall were jammed with people trying to find an alternative route.
Rush hour motorists suffered delays after an accident on the A500.
The southbound carriageway, between Etruria and Cliff Vale, was closed off at around 5pm Monday after a crash involving six vehicles.
Fire crews from Newcastle, Hanley, Burslem and Longton attended the scene and had to extinguish two of the vehicles.
No one was seriously injured but four people were taken to hospital for precautionary check-ups.
The road was expected to be closed until at least 7pm so checks could be carried out on the road surface.

That MFI roundabout is an accident waiting to happen. The idiots can't wait their turn in the correct lane and try and barge round bullying other people out of the way. I'd put a camera up and ban 'em all for 12 months at least.

I got stuck on the bus coming off Festival Park after work. I got on the bus at 5.10pm and finally got to the roundabout at 6pm. A journey of usually 10 minutes with hefty traffic. The bus was blistering and someones backside stunk the bus out at the back. The worst journey i've had so far.
As Dado says it's a death trap waiting to happen. People chopping each other up and changing lanes by pushing their way in as they don't know where they are going. Trying to out run each other at the roundabout when dropping on the duel carraigeway and then hanging out the window mouthing off.
Traffic light failure, it isn't just at night it's in the mornings as well. WHY can't people drive with their heads screwed on. In saying that I never understood why they couldn't have built some kind of fly over from the bottom of Basford Bank to carry the traffi into Hanley and by pass that daft roundabout system as the congestion in rush hour is vile.
