9h agoMillions are expected to hit the roads to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday.
According
to AAA,
90% of the
travelers are expected to take to the road in the next couple of days. Even
with higher gas prices, more drivers are expected to be out on the roadways.
AAA
says this is due to the flexibility and convenience of driving, plus the COVID-19 safety
measures, as some still don’t feel comfortable getting on an airplane yet.
The
association advises to not travel between 2:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
Robert
Sinclair Jr., the
senior manager of public affairs for AAA Northeast, advises those to “hit the
road at 5 or 6 a.m.”
The
MTA is doing traffic prep of their own and advising New Yorkers to rely on
public transportation. It says the plan is to add extra railroad service tomorrow in order to
assist those who aren’t trying to sit in traffic.
