AAA says that Thanksgiving traffic will increase to over a million more compared with 2015’s holiday. 48.7 million Americans are expected to hit roadways located 50 miles or more from home for the weekend travel period which runs from Wednesday, Nov. 23 to Sunday, Nov. 27. The increase is due to the low price of gasoline and upsurge in the country’s economy. Air travel is also expected to increase this year.
