>> Listen to this Article or Add to Podcast
As part of its commitment to provide more reliable journeys and better information for motorists, the Highways Agency today published a summer travel advice leaflet.
Summer Driving 2005 is a handy-sized guide for families using the roads for the school holidays. The Agency, which operates motorways and major A roads in England, wants to help people enjoy trouble-free journeys and avoid heavy traffic around roadworks.
The leaflet advises road users how to drive more safely in heavy traffic, and provides useful contact details for up-to-date road and travel information. To help families plan their journeys, the leaflet also gives advance notice of major roadworks around England, from June to September, that could delay journeys.
Drivers are encouraged to take regular breaks, not to tailgate, and when driving through roadworks to watch out for roadworkers and their vehicles leaving or entering the works. Road users are advised that traffic officers will be on hand, patrolling motorways in the West Midlands, to help drivers in distress and to work with the police to keep the roads free of incidents.
Copies of Summer Driving 2005 are available by calling the Highways Agency Information Line on 08457 50 40 30. Drivers can consult the Highways Agency Traffic England website
www.highways.gov.uk/trafficinfo or the interactive phone line 08700 660 115 for 24-hour real-time traffic information.
