00:00Today on the roads it will be very busy, there are some 22 million people making trips,
00:06but the good news is most of those trips, almost 60 percent, are quite short trips,
00:12under 50 miles. So what we suspect today it's more like shopping Saturdays, so areas where you've got
00:20shopping centres close to motorways will be busy, so bottom of the M1, Cribbs Causeway near Bristol,
00:29the M4, the M5, the M8 near Glasgow, the A1 near Gateshead and Newcastle, all of those areas will
00:38be busy, but because people have still got Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to make their trips, the trips
00:46will be somewhat spread out in terms of the longer journeys. Well I think today there'll be a lot of
00:52localised congestion, plus there's bad weather in the north, in Scotland, in the west, so that
01:00will have an effect. Sunday is likely to be a bit quieter on the roads, but I think Monday will be
01:09the day that those people that haven't made those longer trips will hit the road, so I think Monday
01:15from about 9.30 will probably now be the busiest period.
