The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is advising Labor Day holiday travelers to make informed decisions and plan ahead as Labor Day Weekend is traditionally a popular time for travel, and everyone should consider taking trips at off-peak hours, if possible, to reach destinations.
“As Labor Day weekend approaches, we want to remind everyone to drive safely and without distractions, plan ahead, and allow for extra time because of the increase in travel volumes we usually see this time of year,” said Highway Administrator Jonathan Gulliver. “For anyone who may encounter any type of emergency vehicle with flashing lights activated, we want to remind drivers to do their part and slow down, move over, and ensure those responding to an incident have the space they need to safely clear the scene as quickly as possible.”
Using traffic data, MassDOT has created a travel forecast for the Labor Day holiday period. On Friday, August 29, and Saturday, August 30, travelers are advised to avoid mid-day and afternoon travel due to expected peak congestion. Sunday, August 31, is expected to see heavier traffic throughout the day. Monday, September 1, will see heavier traffic volumes during the mid-day and afternoon peak hours. The heaviest traffic is anticipated on Tuesday, September 2, with delays expected throughout the day and extending later into the evening.
