Google maps will give you a route with live traffic, which you could check just before you leave.

BBC website for the relevant county also gives traffic info but I can't vouch for how up to date or accurate it is

Just make sure it's at least a mile from a major dual carriageway, especially one which has heavy traffic 24 hours a day, otherwise you'll be able to hear the noise of the traffic . We learned this from bitter experience.
