Easter Traffic


Are you planning to get away from it all this Easter, with a little break in the UK? utilising the long weekend from work. If you are you will be joining around 10 million other drivers, so make sure you plan your time and route in advance.

It is estimated that 10% of this traffic will be made up of caravnners, helping to make this the busiest motoring weekend of the year.

The AA is already warning travelers to expect delays and to make sure they have enough petrol in the car. While many motorist may assume that the 'credit crunch' will keep other car users off the road, the AA believe this will result in more people choosing to holiday at home.

Traffic will be made up of those planning a weekend away (a third), day trippers (half) and the remainder taking longer breaks.

Obvious 'hotspots' include British seaside resorts (although the weather forecast is not looking great) and the major ferry ports. I would add to this traffic to your local B&Q outlet.

If you don't fancy sitting behind the wheel of your car, why not sit at home and eat enough Easter eggs so you can't fit behind the wheel of your car!
