On Friday at around 12pm, Aberbeeg Road saw huge swarms of festival goers that blocked the road for other drivers.
The traffic in the area was severely delayed for well over an hour. Drivers left gridlocked by festival traffic on Aberbeeg Road (Image: NQ) At some points drivers were completely 'gridlocked' some even taking the chance to leave their vehicles and stretch their legs.
Many of which were festival goers who decided to crack open a 'cold one' whilst waiting for the traffic to die down.
Eventually, traffic picked up pace and many people were able to break through after queuing for what seemed like an 'eternity.'
