At least 14m Easter car journeys could take twice as long as usual, RAC says

Bank holiday weekend and start of school holidays take place at same time, with high traffic volumes expected

Drivers are being warned to expect long delays over Easter as millions of getaway trips lead to soaring traffic volumes and congested motorways.

The RAC said that more than 14m journeys on some popular routes could take twice as long as normal, as the first bank holiday weekend of the spring coincides with the start of a two-week holiday for many schools.
