Traveling by car for Thanksgiving? – What you should know

According to a recent study by the American Automobile Association (AAA), 89% of travelers prefer to drive to their Thanksgiving destination, which in most cases is more than 50 miles away.

That means around 49 million Americans will hit the roads during the holiday but it also means that there is likely to be heavy traffic and crowded roads, especially in and around major metropolitan areas.

“Families and friends are eager to spend time together this Thanksgiving, one of the busiest for travel in two decades” said Paula Tweedale, AAA’s senior vice president of travel, in a recent press release. This year is projected to be the third busiest Thanksgiving since 2000.
