Journey Planning
How to Plan
Modern drivers have access to a wide range of travel information, making journey planning easier than ever. Checking online traffic updates or using a satellite navigation (sat nav) system can help you avoid congestion, spot route disruptions, and plan your journey more efficiently. If you are travelling long distances, these tools can also help you schedule fuel stops.
Time of Day
Traffic congestion is heavily influenced by work and school travel patterns, leading to busy periods in the early morning and late afternoon or early evening. If you are not required to travel during these peak times, try to avoid them. Doing so will:
-
Make your journey easier, smoother, and less likely to be delayed
-
Help reduce overall traffic congestion
Whenever possible, plan your appointments or travel arrangements to avoid peak hours.
