AAA says 55 million people across the country are planning to travel over 50 miles for the holiday, making it the third-busiest Thanksgiving since they started tracking data in 2000. And the vast majority of those people will be on the roads.
So, when should you not drive? We all know that Wednesday afternoon tends to be the worst travel time. But according to AAA, Tuesday afternoon is getting pretty busy, too. AAA spokeswoman Mary Maguire told WBUR’s Jon Cain that we should expect big backups on major interstates like I-93, I-95 and the Mass. Pike.
When should you drive? Thanksgiving itself will be the lightest travel day. But if you need to leave on Wednesday, AAA suggests before 8 a.m. or after 8 p.m. And if you’re on the roads Tuesday, the earlier the better. Don’t forget: Maguire says to expect the same bottlenecks — but in reverse — on Sunday. If you’re returning home then, AAA says the best time to leave is before 11 a.m. or after 8 p.m.a bus carrying students back from a hockey game Saturday night crashed into a tree in WalthamThe sole victim has been identified as 25-year-old Vanessa Mark.
