Drivers planning on using the M5 this weekend have been issued a warning. The upcoming early May Bank Holiday is set to be the busiest since 2016, with travel experts expecting road congestion to be worse this weekend than for the King's Coronation.
This Friday (April 28) will likely be the busiest day as getaway drivers compete for road space with commuters. Transport monitoring site Inrix is warning of long delays on the M5.
The motorway is expected to be busiest heading southbound between junction 15 for Bristol and junction 23 for Taunton. Motorists planning on using the M5 on Friday have been told to set off before 11am if possible - or wait until the evening.
