The Dover TAP scheme has been put in place for the day, which means lorries are required to remain in the left hand lane of the A20, so traffic can flow freely elsewhere - or face a fine.
Holidaymakers and freight drivers are facing frustration at the Port of Dover, with queues taking hours to clear.
Checks by French border guards are taking up to 90 minutes to process car passengers, and around two hours for those in lorries, the Kent port has announced. In a message to waiting passengers, the port said:"Today is already proving a popular travel day at Dover, and the port is busy processing strong volumes of tourist traffic.
"Teams from the port, Police aux Frontieres and our ferry operators are working to get you through as swiftly as possible."to be processed as they waited to board ferries. Delays at the port have partly been blamed on Brexit, and the French border officials having to carry out extra checks and stamp UK passports before they can board the ferries.
