Drivers are facing delays near junction nine of the M40 near Bicester this morning following a traffic light failure.

Traffic is heavy on the southbound carriageway.

In February, problems with the same set of traffic lights brought traffic to a standstill in the evening rush-hour.

Queues stretched south from the M40 exit all the way to Abingdon, and on the M40 southbound traffic was backed up to Banbury.
