Caltrans traffic data indicates that while averages suggest significant traffic on Thanksgiving Eve, historical analysis reveals that the worst congestion actually occurs on Tuesday, not Wednesday.
"It did start to move more and more into Tuesday," said Montgomery, emphasizing a trend where travelers intentionally hit the road earlier to avoid Thanksgiving Eve jams.
Montgomery highlights that with lighter commute traffic leading up to Thanksgiving, mornings provide a unique opportunity for travelers to beat the rush and avoid congestion.
"Though Thanksgiving Eve has been bad, the real peak for traffic on the 405 Freeway is found on the Tuesday prior, according to recent analysis from The Times."
