BBC News Published media captionHow do you avoid holiday traffic jams? Drivers are being warned of possible congestion on Good Friday as millions of cars take to the roads for the Easter bank holiday. But the RAC said fewer trips were expected than in previous years, with people remaining cautious due to the pandemic. About 600 planned engineering works are also going ahead over the weekend, according to Network Rail. The government has urged passengers to minimise rail travel over the holiday. About 5.6 million people are thought to be planning trips by car in the UK over the Easter bank holiday weekend, a survey of 1,200 drivers by the RAC suggests.
