The Best Time to Hit the Road to Avoid Traffic on Memorial Day Weekend 2021

Whether you’re traveling by car or train for Memorial Day weekend, or staying home for a cookout, there’s plenty to know to make the most of your holiday. An estimated 37 million Americans are expected to travel this weekend, mostly by car - up 60% from last year. If you’re trying to beat traffic, hit the road early in the morning. If you’re not going out of town and want to enjoy a barbecue safely, the CDC says you can enjoy a “normal” Memorial Day “without a mask,” unless you’re not vaccinated.
