AAA expects a record number of Americans to hit the road this Thanksgiving, and transportation officials say drivers should be prepared for traffic across Ohio.

With Memorial Day next week, the unofficial start of summer is upon us — meaning more people will travel by road and air over the coming months. According to AAA, 45.1 million people nationally and 1.7 million Ohioans will travel at least 50 miles from home between May 22 and May 26 for the holiday.

We’ve all heard that flying is the safest way to travel, but you’re not alone if you still get anxious before stepping on a plane.
