The holidays are here and Google Maps has the inside scoop on the best times to avoid traffic, hit the post office and even which states get their shopping done earliest! Whether you need to baste the turkey or drop off your cousin at the airport, timing is everything during Thanksgiving week. Here are the best and worst times to be on the road: Avoid getting stuck in the (cranberry) jam: On the Wednesday before turkey day, expect traffic to be 14% more stuffed than usual between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Roads are most congested from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., so avoid those hours if you can. Shop without wasting your thyme: If you need a last-minute herb or a few more dinner rolls on Thanksgiving Day, head to the grocery store early! The roads (and aisles) will be busiest between 12 p.m. and 3 p.m. Don’t get left in traffic with your leftovers: When it’s time to head home, avoid driving from 12-3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday when traffic is heaviest. Shop mom-and-pop ‘til you drop: This year, holiday shoppers are expected to hit up local craft stores and electronics stores. Sporting goods stores, clothing shops and bookstores are popular with procrastinators, with directions to these spots spiking from December 20-25. Need to mail cards and packages before the reindeer take flight? Avoid the postal gridlock! The best part about the holidays is spending quality time with loved ones. Beyond holiday classics like hitting the slopes or catching a movie, here’s some inspiration for where to go from around the country. With a little planning (and some helpful data), you can spend less time navigating crowds and more time making memories this holiday season.
