More Americans travel during the Thanksgiving weekend than any other time of year.
It's estimated that more than 50 million will travel at least 50 miles from home. About 89% of them will drive so it may take a little longer to arrive at their destinations. Gas prices are up by some 40 cents a gallon compared to Thanksgiving last year, but obviously that is not stopping people from hitting the roads.
It's not just the holiday either -- Black Friday will bring out millions of shoppers and in Pennsylvania, the unofficial holiday of the first day of the antlered deer season for rifle is Monday.
Oh and by the way, the weather is forecast to be seasonal without any big threats of rain or snow, at least in the southern part of the state.
With so many drivers on the roads, from time-to-time Smart Talk brings in the Pennsylvania State Police to answer your driving questions. Cpl. Adam Reed, the Public Information Officer for the State Police, is on the program Wednesday.
Also, deer season starts Monday. Pennsylvania Game Commission Communications Director Travis Lau updates us on the status of the state's deer herd, including population, deer management and chronic wasting disease.
