Let’s Practice
Traffic Levels at the End of 2016
Studio : Good morning viewers. You watched Headline News on Monday, 22nd
December, 2016 at 08:00 am with me, Amelia Linton. Headline News this time will
preach news of traffic jam which often becomes a major problem for big cities in
England, not to mention congestion in London area to Manchester which becomes
subscription of congestion. On a typical day the volume of vehicles already increases
and becomes crowded in this area, especially during the long holiday in the end of 2016
and the beginning of 2017. In the direction of London to Manchester, the volume of
vehicles looks increasingly overflowing. Congestion is not only happening in the big

streets but also happens in Leaden Hall Highway from London to Manchester.
Congestion this time is accompanied by heavy rain that flushes the area of Manchester
and the surrounding areas starting this morning that causes flood around Manchester,
not least in Leaden Hall Highway, Manchester. This affects the congestion that is
getting worse from the direction of London to Manchester. Well, we will connect with my
colleague Thea Collins on Leaden Hall Highway, Manchester.

Reporter : Thanks to Amelia. Good morning viewers, I am currently on Leaden Hall

Highway, Manchester. The congestion in this area has become a subscription and
becomes a major problem for motorcyclists and cars, because this bottleneck hampers
the activities of the surrounding community, especially in the morning. Especially now is
the holiday season at the end of 2016 and the beginning of 2017 , which affects the
traffic congestion is increasingly severe in this Manchester area. Viewers, here not only
happens congestion, but also heavy rain that flushed this area since at 07:00 am. The
rain that has flushed this area seemed thorough in the area around Manchester causing
a long traffic jam up to about 7 km from the direction of London to Manchester. This jam
has occurred almost 2 hours. Rain also makes the complex of houses near the highway
in Manchester flooded to a height of 30-40 cm. Heavy rain also results in roads around
the perforated Manchester and disrupts the road users. It is very dangerous especially
for two-wheeled riders. The worst congestion occurs from the flyover near the Super
Mall to the red light intersection of White End Street. This can be seen from the volume
of both four-wheeled vehicles that have filled this street since this morning. So, for you
who want to take a vacation or just passing in the area of Manchester, it’d better choose
other alternative routes because the congestion is expected to last until noon if the rain
stops and water inundated areas around Manchester gradually recedes. Thus report
from Leaden Hall Highway, Manchester. I am Thea Collins and the cameraman Mason
Williams reported, back to the studio, Amelia.

Studio : All right. Thanks to Thea Collins who has reported the congestion that
happened in Leaden Hall Highway, Manchester. Viewers, this is Headline News for
today. You can follow the next development in Headline News one hour ahead. I am
Amelia Linton retreat. See you.
