Traffic very heavy on surrounding roads

As you can see, traffic is very slow on the sliproad and on Wakefield Road heading into Huddersfield from junction 25 for Brighouse as everyone is coming off here instead. Traffic on Halifax Road and the Elland Bypass is also very heavy. It really would be best to avoid these routes if possible.
