Britain Braces for Busy Roads as May Bank Holiday Temperatures Set to Pass 30C The approaching May bank holiday weekend is shaping up to be a perfect storm of congestion on Britain's roads and at its borders.
As temperatures soar towards 30C, motorists face a long haul – literally. With an estimated 19 million drivers hitting the roads over the three day break, coastal routes are expected to buckle under the pressure.
Motoring organisations warn of severe delays, particularly on Friday and Saturday, as day trippers and holidaymakers flock to seaside resorts and popular destinations like the Port of Dover.
