Whether you're coming into town to escape the winter weather, or leaving the state - patience is key on the road as it is expected to be one of the busiest travel days ahead of Thanksgiving.
Florida Highway Patrol will be actively patrolling our roads, ensuring drivers are safe. Here are some reminders before you get behind the wheel.
To make your commute a little smoother, make sure you know your route.
Slow it down on the road and follow the flow of traffic and don't get too close to the car in front of you.
Nearly thirty percent of crashes from the Wednesday before Thanksgiving to the Sunday after involved rear-end collisions.
2022 saw an increase in crashes but last year we actually saw a decrease. So let's keep the trend going!
Keep away from all distractions, such as texting or maybe eating. Don't drink and drive and keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.
FHP also reminds you that the speed limit is never over 7- mph.
Make sure you know your rest stop and gas stations along your route to also save you some time.
