You will have to show more patience driving the area roads the next few days as holiday traffic will be spiking in Door County.  AAA estimates that over 816,000 people in Wisconsin will be traveling at least 50 miles or more from home.  That reflects an increase of over 30,000 more travelers than last year’s Memorial Day weekend and would be the second-highest ever (2019).  Door County Sheriff Lt. Brad Shortreed advises drivers to take their time and plan with expected delays due to the volume of traffic and detours in the area.

AAA projects that Thursday will be the busiest travel day, with the highest volume being from noon until 6 p.m.  Sunday is also projected to have heavy traffic from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m.  Local Law Enforcement is also participating in the annual “Click It or Ticket” enforcement campaign until June 2, reminding drivers to buckle up and stay safe.
