00:00It's that time of year again as Leeds Festival returns.

00:04National Highways is urging fans to allow plenty of time to get to and from the site,

00:09as up to 90,000 people are expected to venture to Bramham Park.

00:13Similar to previous years, heavy congestion is anticipated on motorways and major roads in Leeds and across Yorkshire.

00:21In addition, roadworks in several areas will likely add to delays, and there'll be bank holiday weekend traffic too.

00:27The message from National Highways is to follow signs for the festival, pay attention to updated electronic signage,

00:34don't rely on sat-navs, take extra care through roadworks, and don't underestimate how busy the roads will be.

00:41If you're not planning to attend, the advice is still to allow extra time if you're travelling around the area,

00:46and avoid peak festival traffic times.

00:49Congestion is likely at Junction 43 of the A1M at Hook Moor, where the A1M and M1 merge.

00:55The A1M at Junctions 44 Bramham and 45 Grange Moor, and the A64 westbound approach to A1M,

01:04with this being closed to through traffic after the Bramham crossroads throughout the festival period.

01:09The A1M southbound is expected to be very slow on Monday between Junctions 44 and 47,

01:15and the northbound exit slip road at Junction 45 of the A1M will be closed from 4am to 2pm on Monday,

01:22to support traffic leaving the festival.

01:24Our trip safety campaign has been launched to urge motorists to be well rested ahead of long journeys.

01:31T is for topping up, fuel, water and oil, R is for resting every two hours,

01:36I is for inspecting tyres and lights, and P is for prepare.

01:40Plan ahead for your journey, and check traffic and weather forecasts.

01:44OK.
