All good things must come to an end, including the summer holidays.
For most of us, the end of the summer holidays herald a return to school, work and that&apos;s likely to cause congestion.
And Monday, September 4 is expected to be an exceptionally busy day on the roads in and around our area.
Traffic monitoring company Inrix has warned that roads will generally be busiest on Monday as holidaymakers head home and commuters travel to work.
Routes back from the South West and the coast are among the list of the most congested roads.
In particular, drivers returning from Devon and Cornwall through our region will be particularly affected, with the M5 motorway expected to be extremely busy.
The northbound M5 from Exeter to Bristol is expected to be congested throughout the day with drivers on this stretch being warned to prepare for a journey time of more than an hour longer than it usually takes.
Stay tuned to the Bristol Post on Monday for the latest traffic and travel updates.
