holiday travel

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is kicking off its fourth annual ‘Think Smart Before You Start’ spring safety campaign as students of all ages and their families prepare for end-of-the-school-year festivities such as spring break, prom and the upcoming graduation season.

Gas prices aren’t stopping spring breakers in Alabama and across the nation from going to their destinations. AAA reports the average expense for a gallon of regular gas in Alabama is around $3. The national average price is about 30 cents higher.

An influx of Alabama locals and out-of-state visitors are headed to the beaches and coastal areas of the Yellowhammer State. AAA Alabama stresses the importance of not driving while distracted. This includes avoiding talking or texting while driving, as well as eating and drinking while in the driver’s seat.

Alabamians traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday might experience more traffic than usual this year. AAA reports this weekend to be the third busiest Thanksgiving holiday travel period of all time. The 2023 ranking follows only 2005 and 2019, respectively.
