About A1M Traffic
A1M Traffic is a free, independent website dedicated to the A1(M) motorway — bringing together the latest A1(M) traffic news, reports, roadworks and delays in one clear, easy-to-use place. It’s part of our Traffic News England network, a family of road-specific sites that help drivers check their route before they set off.
Helping A1(M) drivers
The A1(M) is the motorway part of the A1, the road from London to Edinburgh. It comes in four sections: Hertfordshire from the M25 at South Mimms to Stotfold, Alconbury to Peterborough, the Doncaster Bypass from Blyth to Skellow, and the long northern run from Darrington past Wetherby, Scotch Corner, Darlington and Durham to Birtley on Tyneside. Between those sections you are on the ordinary A1, so this site covers both: the motorway reports on its own pages, and the plain A1 in England on A1 traffic news. We bring the reports together so you can check your stretch before you set off, and we explain the road — its junctions, service areas, link roads and traffic counts — in plain words.
Other motorways
The A1(M) meets the M25 at its first junction and takes in the end of the M1 at Junction 43. For those roads, see M25 Traffic and M1 Traffic; the M1 is the other main road north from London and the usual alternative when the A1(M) is shut. Our sister sites follow the same format for the M6, M60, M4, M5, M3, M40 and M42. For the M18, the M62 and other roads in England, see Traffic News England.

You can find all the latest A1(M) traffic reports quickly and easily on our Latest A1(M) Traffic News page — with dedicated Roadworks and Accidents pages too.
