Three-day holiday weekends typically bring a spike in traffic. Caltrans is advising motorists that traffic may impact your Labor Day weekend. Reporter Rebecca Havely shares some of their traffic safety tips…
First, plan ahead so you know before you go. Monitor traffic and weather via radio, TV, and social media. Use Caltrans Quickmap to monitor traffic and CHP incidents. Make sure your car is in good working order. Check your tires, oil and fluids and leave with a full tank of gas. Plan ahead for rest stops and leave early in the morning if possible. Bring snacks, medications and enough water for all passengers including pets. Take a charged cell phone and car charger. Lastly, remember never to leave anyone including pets in a hot vehicle.
Motorists using highways through the Inland Empire and desert regions such as Interstates 10, 15, 40, and State Routes 91 and 60 will experience delays during peak travel times this afternoon for outbound and Sunday and Monday afternoons for return traffic.
