PEOPLE planning to celebrate the Qingming festival next weekend should allow themselves plenty of time as 3.25 million cars are expected to hit the roads over the three-day period.

Tomb-Sweeping Day falls next Saturday, April 4, though roads are expected to be heavily congested through April 6, traffic authorities said yesterday.

The worst jams are likely to be at the entrances and exits to the S2, S4, S5, G2, G50, G50 and G1501 highways.
