'Woeful weekend' anticipated as thousands of cars set to hit the roads across Nottinghamshire

A motoring company has issued warnings ahead of the weekend as millions of cars look set to hit the roads. While the school terms in Nottingham and the wider county finish next week, many others across the country have already ended, and those travelling out of Nottinghamshire for an early getaway should plan ahead to avoid roadworks and congestion.

Schools in Nottinghamshire finish for the summer holidays on Friday, July 29, while city schools finish for the year on Wednesday, July 27. Some schools across the UK, including in Birmingham, Leicestershire and Lincolnshire for example, have however already ended their terms.

The RAC is, as such, predicting approximately 19 million more vehicles on the roads between July 22 and July 24. This, coupled with lots of roadworks, may cause problems for those travelling into or out of Nottinghamshire for a weekend break.
