Pressure on the roads will be heightened due to a strike by rail workers
UK drivers are embarking on an estimated 20 million car trips to see friends and family in the run-up to Christmas Day.
Train passengers are being urged to complete journeys as early as lunchtime on that day, meaning many people will opt for car or coach travel instead. Total traffic volumes will be far greater prior to the weekend as drivers getting away for the festive period compete for road space with commuters and everyday motorists.Transport analytics company Inrix expects journey times to be around 14% longer compared with the same period last year.
RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: “Our research suggests getaway traffic will build steadily all week, culminating in two frantic days of travelling just before Christmas itself.
