Heavy traffic warning as Christmas break looms
Dover Express
|December 18, 2025
THE UK is anticipating its busiest Christmas getaway on record, with the surge in road traffic expected to heavily impact the Port of Dover, where nearly 30,000 cars are forecast to embark on outbound sailings during the festive period.
-
Traffic heading towards the Port is expected to be particularly heavy this weekend with a severe peak from 6am to 1pm every day from Friday to Sunday.
The AA has forecast that traffic for all journey purposes in the run-up to December 25 will peak tomorrow (Friday, December 19), when about 24.4 million cars are expected on the UK's roads, while the RAC has estimated that a total of 37.5 million leisure trips by car are planned between yesterday (Wednesday) and Christmas Eve.
That is the most in the week before Christmas Day since the company began recording the data in 2013.
