What to know about driving in Bristol

Bristol is a major UK city, with a lot of traffic and different road markings and lanes to navigate. In our study, Bristol was crowned the slowest city in England due to the number of hours lost in traffic annually. If you’re travelling in or around Bristol, try to avoid rush hour or if you can’t add some extra time on for your journey.

In 2021, there were major changes to the road layout in Bristol starting from Temple Meads to Park Street and back around to the M32. Local drivers say that this has made it easier to drive, with roads more clearly marked and wider to navigate. However, if you don’t know which lane you need to be in, it can be easy to get lost.

If you are new to the area, try Google Maps or Waze which lets you know what lane you need to be in at the next junction to keep on the right route.
