As the Thanksgiving holiday has come to a close, millions of travelers are embarking on their journeys, with South Florida experiencing unusually heavy traffic. According to estimates from the American Automobile Association (AAA), nearly 72 million people traveled by car over the holiday, exceeding pre-pandemic levels (WPBF). As traffic congestion is expected to be a major concern, AAA advises motorists to plan their trips strategically.
Specifically, the organization recommends avoiding the roads on Sunday and Monday between noon and 6 p. m., as those are peak travel hours (WPBF). These periods coincide with commutes from work and holiday gatherings, "making it advisable to delay travel to avoid the bulk of the traffic." For smoother and less stressful trips... AAA suggests planning to depart before noon on Sunday or before 8 a. m. on Monday.
This allows travelers to beat the Crowd and navigate roads with greater ease. Those who are unable to travel during these optimal times may still be able to avoid some of the congestion by leaving earlier or later than peak hours.
