The Best Times to Travel<br />
According to AAA, nearly 43 million Americans are expected to hit the<br />
road this Memorial Day weekend for their first vacation of season—about<br />
1.5 million more travelers than last year and the highest amount<br />
sin<strong>ce</strong> 2005.<br />
If you‘re looking to get outdoors this weekend, AAA suggests the worst<br />
time to travel is late afternoons of both Thursday and Friday (4:45-<br />
6:00 PM). Commuters and vacationers will be getting a head start on the<br />
three-day holiday weekend.<br />
In metropolitan areas such as New York, Boston, Atlanta, and the nation‘s<br />
capital, expect congestion to be two to three times greater than usual at<br />
peak times during the weekend.<br />
Overall, the best time to travel will be just after the morning commute<br />
or after the evening commute, when most people will either be at work<br />
or already settled at their destination. So, plan accordingly!<br />
