The August bank holiday is in our sight and for many that will mean a well-earned holiday or trip out with family and friends. However, be aware that the AA is anticipating that nearly 15 million car journeys will be made over the long weekend and that means queues and subsequently, not the relaxed trip you may have hoped to experience.
According to the motoring organisation, traffic for the final major getaway of summer will start to build on Friday, August 26. Road trips are expected to continue throughout Sunday and bank holiday Monday, with afternoons and evenings expected to be particularly busy.
The AA Route Planner has issued an Amber Traffic Warning lasting from Friday, August 26, until Monday, August 29. So, if you are a festival goer, day-tripper or holiday maker, make sure you pick not only your best route but also the best time of the day to make the journey.
