Plan ahead for your holiday journeys

Use the holiday journey planner to check traffic predictions before you leave.

Every holiday period and long weekend we see large numbers of people heading out of the main centres to popular holiday destinations and this can cause queues and delays.

To help alleviate these problems we recommend planning your travel well in advance and travelling outside the busiest periods. To make this easier for you, we’ve created an interactive traffic prediction map for holiday periods. The map shows when we expect traffic to be heavy based on travel patterns from previous years.

The times shown are predictions based on previous years’ travel patterns at the busiest times, and are subject to change based on weather and other factors. For real-time information on the day use the Journey Planner.
