Drivers have been warned to check for any local road closures over the King's Coronation weekend – so they don’t get stuck. Millions of Brits are preparing to string up Union Jack bunting and set communal tables in the street to mark the crowning of King Charles III with their neighbours and friends.
But experts have warned that if you don’t check for closures ahead of time your car could inadvertently end up inside a cordon and you might miss out on your own special events. Graham Conway, managing director of Select Car Leasing, said: “We’re all looking forward to celebrating the King’s Coronation and the bank holiday weekend promises plenty of fun and pageantry.
“But it’s worth noting that there will be road closures in place to allow proud Brits to join in with the festivities by hosting street parties. This not only means regular routes may be blocked, causing journeys to take longer than usual, but if you're not prepared ahead of time you could find your car inside one of these closures and with no way to get out safely.
