Brits have been warned to expect long delays during their Easter travels as more than 14 million journeys are expected on the roads this weekend.
The RAC has warned that journeys on hotspot routes could take double the usual time this Easter weekend as it coincides with the beginning of school holidays. RAC spokeswoman Alice Simpson said: “With Easter falling earlier than usual at the start of the school holidays, it could be Carmageddon for holidaymakers.
3 million journeys with no set travel date are also expected at some point over the bank holiday weekend, bringing the total number of journeys up to around 14.5 million during this period.Travel times are expected to peak between 2pm and 7pm on Thursday, as holidaymakers hit the road at the same time as regular commuters. Meanwhile, the western section of the M25 between the M23 for Gatwick and the M1 for Hertfordshire is expected to be the busiest route.
