Matt speaks with Tom Baran Traffic Education Specialist for AAA Northern New England about 4th Of July Travel. AAA Northern New England’s Tom Baran predicts a significant increase in Fourth of July travel, with 72.2 million people traveling at least 50 miles from home from June 28 to July 6. This represents a 1.7 million increase from last year and a return to pre-COVID levels. Most travelers (62 million) will drive, with notable increases in air travel and cruises. Traffic is expected to peak on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday, with Sunday seeing the highest volume as people return home. AAA advises caution due to potential increased accidents and roadside emergencies, emphasizing the importance of vehicle maintenance and safe driving.
