Memorial Day – Traveling During a Holiday
Taking advantage of a long weekend to go see friends and family always seems like a great idea at the time but once you’re stuck in hours of traffic, you may think twice. All Star Travel.com thinks that it IS a great time to go but that employing a few strategies for “holiday travel” will help you make the journey there a little less painful.
– Plan ahead.
Know the route you are going to take, look up traffic patterns and identify ways to avoid them. Be aware of any construction that might be going on, large events that could cause additional traffic or road closures. If you’re going to be visiting a place far away, or have an extended trip planned, you may want to:
– Take the Scenic Route
– Give yourself time.
It almost never fails that the scenic route to anywhere takes longer than the standard highway directions. However, if you consider that the traditional route will have an hour or more of traffic – the scenic route might be the way to go.
If you can give yourself time, you are less likely to be stressed about any interruptions you may encounter. Allow plenty of time for travel and unexpected delays. Don’t forget that this is a popular weekend for travel!
