Travelling for the Jubilee bank holiday? Waze Helps Maximise Your Time & Fuel

Whether setting out on the ultimate regal road trip to visit iconic royal landmarks or hunting for the best street parties in your local area, more people than ever will be taking to the roads for the Platinum Jubilee bank holiday this June. If you’re covering any stories about Jubilee travel, navigation app, Waze, has identified its signature features to help UK motorists have a jolly good journey:

· Fuel your royal chariot: With petrol prices expected to spike again over the Jubilee, Waze helps you find the cheapest fuel along your route to quick, hassle-free pitstops to last the weekend.

· Pre-plan your Jubilee party parking: Avoid the royal pain of finding a spot with Waze’s “Where to Park” feature, which suggests parking spaces closest to your destination and guides you there directly.

· A Queen is never late: When planning your drive ahead, you can track traffic in real-time using Waze’s Live Map, or use the Plan a Drive feature to find the best time to leave to join in the festivities and avoid the royal rush.

Ru Roberts, UK Country Manager comments:

“Since the start of April, we’ve seen an average 47% increase in driven miles on Waze as drivers rushed to get ahead of the traffic over the two bank holiday weekends. With over 3,200 street parties and public events planned across the UK, we expect to see another huge surge in traffic and delays around the Jubilee bank holiday.

“To prepare for the Jubilee weekend, we’re encouraging all drivers to check their route in advance to ensure they don’t get trapped in tailbacks and can enjoy their holiday as planned. Waze map editors will also be tracking and mapping any road closures to ensure drivers are kept up to date with real-time information that could affect their journey.”
