Motorists can now stay one step ahead of traffic congestion with the Watford Observer website.

By following the links to our page of traffic webcams, road users can now check build-ups on the M1 and M25 around Watford, St Albans, Rickmansworth and Hemel Hempstead.

The images, provided by the Highways Agency, can then be refreshed to provide an updated picture.

To view the webcams, from our homepage click 'Info' and then 'Traffic Cameras'.
