The M5 links the West Midlands with the South West, and its character changes with the calendar: commuter congestion around Birmingham and Bristol most of the year, then holiday queues past Taunton every summer weekend. The Almondsbury interchange with the M4 and the Avonmouth Bridge are its two reliable slow spots. Live incidents and closures below refresh every 5 minutes.
