Thanksgiving Weekend Is Here!! Here Is Some Traffic Info and Tips

CAJON PASS, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> In this new era, with the Coronavirus it is unknown what the holiday traffic conditions will be. Last year was busy with the virus around. I can say the road will be jammed pack. Check the Pain In The Pass Facebook Group before you go for up-to-date traffic conditions.

NO ROADWORK Wednesday night – Sunday night from the 210 freeway up to Stateline on Interstate 15 this Thanksgiving weekend.

Expect delays on Wednesday afternoon/evening for northbound I-15 traffic and on Sunday evening for southbound I-15 in the Cajon Pass, Devore, Hesperia, Victorville, Barstow, Baker and Stateline areas. Try to travel during off peak hours (early morning or late at night). The worst time to travel is around 3pm to 7pm on Wednesday. Sunday worst time is 1pm to 5pm.

Here are some tips to make your trip more enjoyable.

If you plan to hit the road this Thanksgiving Weekend below are some helpful tips:

• Travel in early morning hours if possible – try to leave before noon Wednesday and Sunday

• BRING WATER! Also bring snacks and necessary medication.

• Have a full tank of gas before you go.

• Make sure your car is in good running condition. Check all the fluids, tires and tire pressure.

• Bring a charged cell phone (with a car charger).

• Use the restroom before you get on the road – you don’t know where you may get stopped for long periods of time.

• Bring your patience, Please. Don’t need road rage this Holiday weekend.

• Know before you go and check the Pain In The Pass Facebook Group for up to date traffic conditions on the 15 freeway. Plan ahead and add extra time before you travel. Have a positive attitude — relax and enjoy the ride!
