Travelers heading along the M5 this bank holiday weekend are being warned of potentially severe traffic delays, particularly on a major stretch through the South West. Authorities advise drivers to consider setting off early to avoid prolonged congestion or to prepare for extended periods of slow-moving traffic.
The M5 is a crucial route for holidaymakers and local commuters alike, and the anticipated high volume of vehicles is expected to lead to significant delays. Motorists should stay informed of real-time traffic updates and consider alternative routes where possible to minimize travel time.
Whether you’re journeying for a weekend getaway or returning home, planning your departure time carefully could help you avoid the worst of the bank holiday rush.
