Traffic Reports

Get traffic and travel information before you go to the racecourse.

Popular race meetings often cause traffic problems and some of the smaller racecourses are often out in the back of beyond so make sure you plan to arrive at the course early else you may miss the first race!

Be particulary aware of big festival meetings such as Cheltenham, Aintree, Epsom and Ascot as tens of thousands of race-goers attend these meetings and it is no fun sitting behind a queue of Bentleys and Porches.

At these festival meetings you may want to leave your car behind, or at a designated park and ride location and use the extra public transport which is laid on.

If you do drive to the racecourse be aware that trying to get out of the car park at the end of the day can be a bit of a struggle. Some racecourse car parks only have one or two exits and all the extra cars snarl up the surrounding rounds. Either return to your car early soon after the last race or save some of that picnic food for the end and wait until most of the other cars have gone.
