The chaos is happening outside Preston Grasshoppers Rugby Club on Lightfoot Lane in Fulwood where a set of temporary traffic lights have broken down.

Lancashire Police officers are now at the scene directing traffic.

The route was already a hugely busy route for traffic before the introduction of the lights for roadworks but standstill traffic has been the norm since their introduction a few days ago.
