Journeys on the UK's most popular roads could take more than three times longer than usual as the summer holidays end and children return to school, new figures show.

Traffic information supplier Inrix warned that roads will generally be busiest on Monday September 4 as holidaymakers capitalise on the last few days of the break while other people resume their commutes.

Routes back from the coast, ports and holiday destinations dominate the list of most congested roads.
