Police have warned motorists to expect delays on major roads across the country.
Fuel price protesters are set to cause further disruption on Friday as police warn motorists that “slow-moving roadblocks” are planned on major roads across the country. Avon and Somerset Police has advised drivers to expect delays along parts of the M4, M5, M32 and A38 from Friday morning.
"Nevertheless, drivers can expect journey times will likely be longer than normal, especially on motorways, which often tend to be at their busiest at this time of year. We advise motorists to consider any alternative travel plans available and ensure they are suitably prepared in case they are delayed.”The protests could cause disruption to millions of families embarking on getaways at the start of summer holidays for many schools in England and Wales.
There has been several high-profile protests against the rising cost of fuel and use of oil in recent months. Several members of protest group Just Stop Oil invaded the track during the British Grand Prix on July 3, while 12 fuel price protesters were arrested for causing disruption on the M4 the following day.
