The RAC has warned UK drivers about long delays on the roads over the Easter bank holiday weekend as 14 million getaways are planned.
UK drivers are being warned to expect long delays this Easter, as more than 14 million getaway trips are said to be taking place across the first bank holiday weekend of the year.
“We also know from our latest research that the cost of living remains a concern and while people are still keen to take a break, many are booking late, taking shorter breaks, wanting to save on accommodation, activities and eating out, highlighting the ongoing challenges for industry.”The RAC and transport analysis company Inrix commissioned a survey which suggested 2.6 million leisure journeys by car will be made on Good Friday.
Additionally, the busiest route is expected to be the western section of the M25 between the M23 for Gatwick and the M1 for Hertfordshire. RAC Breakdown spokesperson Alice Simpson commented: “With Easter falling earlier than usual at the start of the school holidays, it could be carmageddon for holidaymakers.
