19.5 million road trips will be made between Wednesday and Sunday thanks to the double bank holiday, according to the RAC.

And data collected by the company shows that a large stretch of the M5 southbound could have delays of nearly a whopping 90 minutes.

Traffic will be at its worst between Almondsbury Interchange, between Bristol and the Severn Bridge, and the junction with the A38 near Bridgwater, data indicates.

Data points to delays of 47 minutes late on Wednesday afternoon on the A303 westbound between Stonehenge and its connection with the A36 near Deptford.

The M25 is likely to suffer 51-minute delays mid-afternoon on Wednesday, between Junction 4 near Bromley and Junction 1 near Swanscombe.

While 45-minute delays between Junction 10 near Guildford and Junction 6 are also expected.

The M3 will be repeatedly disrupted from Thursday through to Sunday anti-clockwise between Junction 17 and Junction 12 with delays of at least 30 minutes.

And the M4 and the A720 will fare no better, facing the worst traffic on Wednesday and Sunday respectively.

A separate RAC poll found that around 37% of drivers have no plans to travel long-distances over the weekend.

Many of the worst delays are expected on Wednesday as drivers rush off after work.

It comes after the RAC warned that Friday June 3 will be the busiest day overall to hit the road – with 3.6 MILLION people heading out by car.

The worst times to travel that day will be between 7am and 2pm – with the A303 and the M25 among the roads to watch for delays.

After Friday, the second-worst day to travel is Thursday June 2, when a predicted 3.3 million drivers will take to the roads.

The busiest time that day is between 9am and 2pm – with the M5 and M25 most at risk.

RAC traffic spokesman Rod Dennis said: “Drivers clearly see a double bank holiday this close to the summer as a gift with so millions eager to make the most of it – although many appear keen to keep their car journeys short, perhaps mixing a daytrip or two with a Jubilee celebration at home.

“The fact the bank holidays coincide with the end of half-term in many places has the potential to put some extra pressure on the road network, so planning a journey carefully is important to beat the worst of any queues.”

Travel by air is no better, as Brits face days of “total carnage” in UK airports.

And travellers have been warned the disruption could get worse – as unions describe airport madness throughout “the entire summer”.

Travellers describe grim five-hour queues to check in at airports across the country.

Even when they do make it to departures they still face a gruelling getaway lottery, with hundreds of flights scrapped.
