Travel warning with long delays expected as millions set to travel over Easter weekend

Motorists have been warned to expect long delays with 17 million car journeys set to take place over Easter weekend.

Major roads in southwest England and some in the Home Counties are likely to experience the worst congestion on Good Friday, according to the RAC. The A303 westbound near Stonehenge, the M5 south between Bristol and Bridgwater and the M25 anticlockwise between Hertfordshire and Surrey are all predicted to see more than double the normal amount of traffic.Easter Sunday is predicted to see similar levels of traffic with Easter Saturday and Easter Monday only marginally better.

Many will be waiting to see what the weather is like before deciding whether to travel or not, according to the automotive company. RAC Breakdown spokesman Rod Dennis said:"The south and west of the UK are the areas to watch as they're home to some vital roads responsible for carrying vast numbers of people to the holiday destinations of the West Country - so our advice to anyone heading that way is to get on the road as early as possible on Good Friday, or travel on a different day entirely."
