You'll have an easier and more pleasant journey if you - plan your route before starting out avoid busy times, if possible - allow plenty of time for your journey, especially if you have an appointment to keep or a connection to make. Plan your route by - looking at a map using satellite navigation equipment checking with a motoring organisation - using a route planner on the internet. If you're travelling on a new or unfamiliar route, it's a good idea to print out or write down the directions, and also to plan an alternative route in case your original route is blocked. If you can avoid travelling at busy times, you'll - be less likely to be delayed - help to ease congestion for those who have to travel at these times. In some areas, you may have to pay a congestion charge to use congested road space. In London, you may also have to pay the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and/or Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charges Residents living within the London charging zone obtain a reduced rate but aren't exempt.
