Motorists driving lease cars in the area around the Silverstone race circuit today and into the weekend could face delays.<\/p>\n
The Moto GP race meet is taking place there on June 10th, 11th and 12th, with 120,000 spectators expected each day.<\/p>\n
While many are expected to camp at the circuit or a nearby site, others will be travelling to Silverstone along the region’s arterial routes.<\/p>\n
As such, lease cars could encounter heightened levels of traffic on the M1 in the East Midlands and the M40 through Oxfordshire.<\/p>\n
The Highways Agency advises allowing additional time for journeys in the area, to compensate for any congestion or traffic jams.<\/p>\n
It also suggests following its East Midlands traffic Twitter profile in order to receive up-to-date information about any incidents or congestion in the region.<\/p>\n
However, drivers are urged not to check the social media site from a mobile phone while at the wheel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
