We all want easy, free-flowing journeys. However, with increasing amounts of traffic on our roads, it is not simply just about the time spent in your car traveling, it is also about the time you invest in planning your journey.

Before you go check your route using a road atlas or via Transport Direct at www.transportdirect.info and check the weather forecast at www.metoffice.gov.uk

Also remember:

  • Plan your journey to allow for a 15 minute break every two hours.
  • Make sure your vehicle is roadworthy and always carry a spare tyre in good condition.
  • Take emergency items for very hot or very cold weather
  • Check you have enough fuel before you set off
  • Don’t start a long trip if you are already tired.

Additional travel information to help you plan your journey safely is available from a number of sources including:

Highways Agency  /  AA Road Watch  /  BBC Travel News

The following downloads (pdf) are available: -
