Plan your holiday journeys in advance with the help of our interactive Holiday Hotspots maps and PDFs and make travelling safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
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 have created interactive maps and downloadable PDFs that show when we expect traffic to be heavy based on travel patterns from previous years.
Because predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour we suggest that you check our Traffic & Travel pages before you leave for accurate information about current road and traffic conditions.
Every holiday period and long weekend we see large numbers of people heading out of the main centres to their usual holiday destinations and that makes queues and delays inevitable in some areas of the country at the most popular times to travel.
If everyone plans their travel in advance, and thinks about how they can travel outside the busiest periods it will help reduce delays and stress and that will make it a safer and more enjoyable journey for everyone.
To help road users plan for their journeys we have provided predictions of the times we expect traffic to be busy. The information is based on travel patterns from previous years, however predicted peak times can change based on incidents, weather and even driver behaviour so using real time travel information is the best way to get up to date and accurate information about road and traffic conditions.
