Driving From Bristol Aiport to Gloucester



Anyone familiar with roads around Bristol?

I'm travelling over to Gloucester for a day on Friday, getting into Bristol
Airport at 8:10 a.m., hand baggage only but picking up a hire car so should
be leaving the Airport just before 9:00 a.m.

Last time I did this trip, I just followed the signs from the Airport for M5
but that seemed to take me quite near city centre and was a difficult enough
route.

MS Autoroute recommends turning off from the A38 onto B3130 (Barrow Street)
2 miles from the aiport onto B3129 and A369, picking up the M5 at Junction
19.

Looking online, the AA and RAC routeplanners both suggest the route I took
last time.

Anyone familiar with the roads in this area like to make a recommendation,
taking into account that I will be driving about 9:00 - 9:30 a.m. which I
suspect is still within the peak time traffic?
