As the sunny weather puts caravan owners in the mood to take a trip to the coast, the Highways Agency is warning motorists to take extra care when towing. The government body has extended its warnings on major roads in the north west of the country for the Easter holiday period, from April 20th to May 8th.
Key areas highlighted by the agency include the M6, from junctions 25 to 26 and 32 to 33 northbound, and from junctions 41 to 40 southbound.
The M56 between junctions 12 to 14 and the Lymm interchange with the M6 were also picked out as areas where motorists should be particularly careful.
These areas are expected to be particularly busy with travellers heading for caravan holidays to north Wales, Blackpool and the Lake District.
Andy Withington, the Highways Agency’s area performance manager, said: “It is important we continue to ask those who tow trailers, horse boxes, boats and caravans to take extra care and prepare before the first long break of the year.”
