Teignbridge's motorists will have five road closures to avoid nearby on the National Highways network this week.
But drivers will be able to take some solace in the fact that all of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.
The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that one closure already in place is expected to carry on this week:
And a further four closures will begin over the next two weeks:
• A38, from 7pm December 16 to 6am December 17, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A38 westbound, Splatford Split to Haldon Hill carriageway closed for resurfacing. Diversion via A380 and minor road via Haldon Racecourse.
• A30, from 7pm December 19 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 both directions Ide to Pathfinder, lane closure for horticultural works.
• A30, from 8pm December 19 to 6am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A30 eastbound, Cheriton Cross slip road closure for electrical works, diversion via A30 eastbound to Fingle Glen, /Tedburn St Mary and return westbound.
• A30, from 8pm December 19 to 4.30am December 20, slight delays (under 10 minutes): M5 southbound, junction 31 exit slip road lane closure for drainage.
National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
