Port of Plymouth: approach roads and traffic

Port of Plymouth (PLY) is one of the 28 ports UK Live Traffic watches. It handles ferries. The live map shows the ships arriving, alongside and leaving; this page is about the roads.

Its traffic joins the main roads at A38 / Marsh Mills Roundabout (55%), A38 / Weston Mill Drive (35%) and A386 / Manadon Hill (10%). On the live map, tapping the port and then its Road forecast estimates the vehicles that ferries and cruise ships which have just berthed should put on those junctions over the next 90 minutes.
