Motorists face strike chaos on the roads from today until Christmas Day with a walkout by National Highways workers as millions of people are set to hit the road during the festive period.
People heading home for Christmas face disruption in the latest phase of industrial action by the biggest civil service union.
The strike involves members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) working as on-road traffic officers and regional operating centre operatives in London and south-east England.
