The AA has issued an amber traffic warning for anyone using the M6, M5 and M62 this bank holiday weekend.
Families returning from summer holidays before the start of the new school year will battle for road space with festivalgoers and people embarking on day trips. The AA expects leisure traffic to peak on Saturday between 10am and 4pm and motorists are being warned to expect delays on major routes.
Predicted traffic hotspots include the M4/M5 interchange near Bristol; the M1 between the M25 and Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire; the M6/M42 interchange in Birmingham; and the M62 between Liverpool and Manchester.
