The M5 has already been cleared after major delays on the motorway today (May 28).
There were long delays south between Wotton-under-Edge, south of Gloucestershire, and Clevedon, Somerset, but most of the road faces delays.
The M5 is often congested during peak hours at this time of year, with people across the country opting to spend their sunny weekends in beauty spots in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset.
Much of the southwest is expected to see the sun wall to wall today, with temperatures expected to crawl to around 20ºC.
Inrix, a traffic monitoring organization, says: “Serious delays and queuing traffic due to holiday traffic on the M5 heading south between J14 B4509 (Thornbury / Falfield) and J23 A39 (Bridgwater North). is 1 hour and 50 minutes “.
