π‘ Planning a getaway this bank holiday weekend? π You’re not alone! It’s set to be the busiest early May bank holiday on the roads in a decade! Here’s what you need to know to avoid the traffic crunch. π£οΈ

The RAC is predicting a whopping 19 million leisure trips by car between Friday and Monday. Saturday is expected to be the busiest day, with over 4 million journeys planned. If you’re heading out, especially on the M5 from Bristol to Taunton, expect congestion. Best to avoid the roads from 10 am to lunchtime. π


Despite rising fuel prices, many are still eager to make the most of the break. For those planning a journey, Friday will also be a tough one on the road as holidaymakers mix with the usual commuters. ποΈ
π Top tips from the RAC: Make sure your vehicle is road-ready! Check tyre pressure, oil, coolant, and screen wash before you hit the road. It can save you a lot of hassle.
π Prefer the train? The majority of Britainβs railway network is open, but check ahead for planned engineering works, as some routes will have major interruptions.
Whether you’re staying home or venturing out, plan ahead, travel safely, and enjoy the bank holiday! π€οΈ#BankHolidayTravel #RoadTrips #TravelTips
