M5 south at J12 is constantly queuing on motorway during rush hour

Reported via mobile in the Traffic lights (NH) category anonymously at 19:12, Mon 31 October 2022

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 3927856.

M5 south at J12 is constantly queuing on motorway during rush hour I was involved in a very close near miss on my way home at 5pm tonight - I was in the middle lane, a large lorry was in left hand lane and had to swerve into my lane to avoid traffic queue for the junction which tailed back onto motorway. There was a car in the right hand lane and I had nowhere to go. I was incredibly lucky to avoid contact with any vehicle tonight. This is a frequent occurrence during rush hour and it’s only a matter of time before there’s a significant crash.
