Drivers have been advised by National Highways to plan their journeys ahead in the New Year. The advice comes as traffic levels return to normal after the Christmas season.
Members of the PCS union at National Highways are planning a national strike on Tuesday, January 3 and Wednesday, January 4 which are the first working days after the holiday season in England. National Highways has put in place well-rehearsed resilience plans to ensure that the 4,500-mile strategic road network remains open and safe at all times.
National Highways is confident that the forthcoming industrial action will have minimal overall impact. With that being said, roads are likely to be busy on both days and drivers are being asked to plan ahead, particularly with national rail strikes being staged at the same time.
