Bournemouth (BOH): road traffic and approach roads

Bournemouth (IATA BOH, ICAO EGHH) is one of the 28 airports UK Live Traffic watches. The live map shows the aircraft arriving, holding and leaving it right now; this page is about the roads.

Its traffic joins the main roads at A338 (65%) and A348 / Christchurch Road (35%). Roughly 93 in every 100 arriving passengers leave by car, taxi or hire car (our own estimate, from the public transport links each airport has to the towns round it), so a busy landing raises traffic on these roads over the hour that follows. On the live map, tapping the airport and then its Road forecast estimates the vehicles that the aircraft which have just landed should put on each junction over the next 90 minutes.
