Part 3/4:
A Glimmer of Hope: Falling Gas Prices
Amid the chaos, there's good news for motorists: gas prices are approximately 40 cents lower per gallon than they were at the same time last year. This decline is encouraging more people to travel, reducing some of the financial burden that often accompanies holiday road trips.
Upcoming Traffic Predictions
Looking ahead, minimal traffic is expected on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, December 24th and 25th, making these attractive travel days for those who can manage their schedules. Similarly, traffic on Monday, following Christmas, is predicted to peak between 1 PM and 6 PM, with early morning appealing as the best time for smoother travel.
