Travel, Driving Enforcement Both Up For Holiday
This holiday season, more drivers will be headed over the river, through the woods to Grandmother’s house and many other destinations than last year according to a report by AAA.
Christmas holiday traffic will be up just a smidgen this year, at least according to AAA Chicago.
The group estimates 4.25 million Illinois drivers will be on the road for the 11 day holiday stretch between December 23rd and January 2nd this year–only a .5% increase from 2010.
AAA: Less Cars On Road For July 4th Holiday
Expect Heavy Holiday Traffic Despite 3.3% Decline In Driving
Blame it on the price of gas. Blame it on the economy.
Maybe you can blame it on both.
But, for whatever reason a lot less people will hit the road this 4th of July holiday weekend according to AAA.
Based on a survey by AAA, the group predicts only 1.9 million Illinois residents will go on an automobile excursion over 50 miles from home this upcoming weekend, down about 3.3% from 2010.
