🚗 **Weekend Road Alert!** 🚗
Planning a trip this weekend? The RAC has released a heads-up for drivers: steer clear of UK roads between 11am and 2pm on Saturday, and midday to 4pm on Sunday. This comes as schools close for summer, leading to extra busy roads across the country! 🌞🛣️
With more families choosing staycations, thanks to rising fuel prices and travel complications, expect a surge in road traffic. The RAC has pinpointed major traffic hotspots like the M25, M1, M60, M4, and M5. And let’s not forget the Port of Dover, where extended queues could create quite the chaos!
To dodge the jams, consider hitting the road after 2pm on Saturday and after 6pm on Sunday. 🚙✨
Harriet Hernando from the RAC advises that this ‘Saturday summer scramble’ means planning your journey well. Think about setting off early or later to escape the bottleneck. No one wants to be stuck in potential traffic heatwaves, right?
On a more serious note, traffic at the Port of Dover could become particularly intense, with up to 12,000 vehicles expected daily. Doug Bannister, Chief Exec at the Port, warns of lengthy queues in sweltering conditions, which could pose serious health threats to trapped motorists. The advice? Be prepared: stock up on water, plan your route and stay informed!
Stay cool, plan ahead, and safe travels! 🚘🍃
