đźš— **Easter Bank Holiday Traffic Alert!** đźš—
Get ready for a busy Easter bank holiday on UK roads! Experts warn we’re in for the most crowded Easter weekend in four years. With 21 million leisure journeys planned, expect significant delays, especially on the M4, so you might want to set off early if you can.
Thanks to higher fuel prices driven by Middle East tensions, the cost of filling up the car isn’t cheap. But that’s not stopping Brits! A survey shows many drivers are ploughing on with their plans, eager to escape the daily grind.
**Top Traffic Tips:**
– Start trips before 10am to dodge the worst jams.
– Brace for busy roads on Good Friday, particularly between 10am and 7pm.
– Peak travel on Saturday is expected from 10am to midday.
**Congestion Hotspots:**
– M4 westbound from Severn Crossing to Bridgend 🚦
– M25 around Junction 15 to 19 ⚠️
– M5 southbound between Junction 15 and 23 🛑
Planning a coastal getaway or some city shopping? Those routes will likely be chock-a-block. As the weekend wraps up, expect afternoon delays on Easter Monday, especially on the M5 northbound.
**Safety First!** Before heading out, double-check your vehicle—fuel, lights, tyres, oils—make sure everything’s in tip-top shape. Let’s stay safe and make the most of the long weekend!
