Traffic on all exits into major highways to the north, south, and the east coast was smooth despite the visibly increased number of vehicles seen on the road, likely due to people returning to work. In a public service announcement broadcasted on Twitter, highway operators encouraged people planning to travel back to their hometowns to avoid large family gatherings, and do so in a staggered schedule so as to prevent heavy traffic congestions.
This year’s celebration was limited to just a day and visits were kept to just 20 family members who live within the same state.
