A motorist has slammed the heavy traffic in High Wycombe and its surrounding areas by calling it ‘some of the worst’ they have ever experienced.

The driver, who wanted to remain anonymous, was stuck in long queues along Hammersley Lane, Robinson Road and London Road on the morning of January 22.

It is not the first time that the commuter has been stuck in a heavy jam this calendar year, as numerous roadworks have caused many delays in and around the town.

This comes after the person in question was held up for nearly an hour for what should have been a 15-minute trip from Hazlemere to Flackwell Heath.

They said: “It’s becoming a joke now.

“Roadworks are needed, but the congestion is so heavy that you can be stuck in the same place for about 30 minutes without moving.

“It’s incredibly frustrating as you’re helpless – you can’t do anything because if you try and do a u-turn and go back on yourself, you’ll end up in more queues.

"It's awful."

The driver also suggested that a traffic sign be implemented on Hammersley Lane after they were nearly involved in an accident.

They told the Free Press that after a ‘pretty clear journey', they travelled around a corner along the huge hill connecting High Wycombe and Loudwater border where the traffic started. 

The driver then emergency broke ‘before skidding several feet’, in which they nearly collided with the car in front.

They continued: “The traffic started on Hammersley Lane as prior to that, there were no issues.

“I was doing just under 30, then as I went around the corner, I saw the huge line of cars and immediately hit the brake pedal.

“I braced myself as the car started to skid.

“There is no sign on the hill that I saw that warns drivers of potential traffic around the bend.

“If another car had been going over the limit, they would have smashed into the car in front.”

“It’s incredibly dangerous.”

The roadworks are expected to last until the end of January.
