Driver Tips for Thanksgiving 2016: I-90, I-5, and US 2

Peak Thanksgiving Routes. Find the best time to travel on I-5, I-90Snoqualmie Pass, US 2 and I-5 near the U.S. Canadian border.

State highways across Washington will see typical heavy holiday weekend traffic, especially on Interstate 90 wherelengthy delays are expected. Longer-than typical wait times at ferry docks and Canadian border crossings are alsoexpected most of the holiday weekend.

WSDOT crews work hard to ensure travelers reach their destination safely and advise drivers to plan ahead to savetime and frustration. Drivers also can use WSDOT’s online tools, the WSDOT app and social media accounts to trackcurrent traffic conditions.

Current traffic incidents or adverse weather can result in traffic congestion outside the hours shown.

What do the colors mean for drivers?

WSDOT traffic analysts looked at how many cars were on the road past Thanksgiving weekends. Based on thishistorical data, the graphs shows how many cars (vertical axis) we project to be on the road each hour (horizontalaxis) for Thanksgiving Weekend 2016. As the graphs turn from green to yellow, drivers can expect somecongestion. During the red hours, traffic analysts predict travel will reach roadway capacity. Once a roadwayreaches capacity, any small incident can cause significant backups.

What about the black line?

The black line running from left to right show typical traffic. This gives drivers more information on howthe Thanksgiving 2016 holiday weekend travel may relate to a typical weekend.
