Police are expecting people to maximise Anzac day and take a long weekend - meaning the roads could be chocka, with people returning from school holidays too.

Last year 12 people died on the roads over Anzac weekend. And it was a horror start to this week with seven road deaths.

National Road Policing Centre Director Superintendent Steve Greally is appealing to drivers to make smart decisions this weekend.
