Millions of Americans will be hitting the road for their Thanksgiving travel. According to 'Travel + Leisure' it's a good idea to rely on Google Maps to make the process more bearable. Though it may seem counterintuitive, Google Maps recommends not travelling the day before Thanksgiving, with traffic peaking between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday. According to Google, early travel on Thanksgiving is the least congested, especially between 6 a.m. and noon. Getting home from the holiday can also present some traffic challenges. Again, Google Maps recommends travelers leave first thing in the morning, with Sunday being the ideal day to get home. Google Maps also shows that outlet malls on Black Friday reach their peak traffic right around noon.
