With the busy holiday travel weekend ahead, AAA Auto Club is offering advice to keep your travels safe, heading into the unofficial start of summer. According to AAA over half a million Kansans are set to travel more than 50 miles this holiday weekend, a 3% increase over last year, and they won’t be alone as 48 million Americans are expected to do the same. A spokesperson recommends leaving for your destination Friday afternoon or early Saturday morning, if possible. That leaves some time to stop by your mechanic for a quick check-up before hitting the road. It could make a key difference for your weekend ahead. Last year, AAA worked 1,600 roadside calls across the state for the holiday. Making sure your vehicle is highway ready is critical in getting to your destination on time.
Another issue, road construction, which could cause some major delays in that travel. There are multiple construction zones on highways and byways throughout the state of Kansas. AAA says patience is the key while behind the wheel.
