Record 4th Of July Travel Expected — The Best And Worst Times To Hit The Road In CA
- AAA forecasts that over 72 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home between June 28 and July 6 surrounding the Fourth of July holiday.
- This surge follows the Independence Day holiday falling on a Friday, which allows travelers to extend getaways into a long weekend or take the entire week off, according to AAA Travel vice president Stacey Barber.
- Travel demand is strong with over 61 million Americans driving, a record-setting number, while Southern California’s Central Coast remains a popular destination amid busiest roads forecasted during afternoon hours on July 2 and 6.
- Gas prices currently average $3 per gallon nationwide, about 30 cents lower than last year’s holiday season, though AAA warns an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season may cause price fluctuations.
- The record travel volume suggests heavier road and airport congestion this holiday week, prompting recommendations to plan ahead and travel early to avoid peak afternoon and evening delays.
