Avoid July 4th Traffic Chaos | Denver News

America’s 250th anniversary means record-breaking July 4th travel—over 72 million people on the move, 61 million behind the wheel. Experts say hit the road before noon, especially if leaving Wednesday, to dodge traffic that swells from midday to 9 PM and could spill into Thursday and Friday. AAA’s bracing for hundreds of thousands of roadside calls—dead batteries, flat tires, lockouts—so prep your car: check tire pressure, battery, fluids, and pack an emergency kit. Get your car serviced if it’s been a while. Keep your tank at least half full, especially in remote areas. A few minutes of planning now could save you hours later.
