Traffic warning for Tybee Island

Traffic report for Tybee Island

Tybee Island Police Report Traffic Delays on Highway 80

GET ACCEPTED FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE HEALTH OFFICERS: USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND TRAVEL SAFELY. SOT POP (THE BEST THING I CAN SAY TO ANYONE TRAVELING THIS WEEKEND IS: BE PATIENT) POWELL HARRELSON IS WITH THE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY. ((POWELL HARRELSON/ GOVERNOR’S OFFICE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY)) “DRIVE SLOWLY, WEAR A SEAT, DO NOT USE ALCOHOL OR DRUGS WHILE YOU ARE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE CAR. AND PUT YOUR CELL PHONE AWAY WHEN YOU’RE IN THE CAR.” ALTHOUGH IT MAY SEEMS LIKE COMMON SENSE TO SOME… TO OTHERS IT’S JUST A SUGGESTTION. AND THAT, SAYS HARRELSON, CAN BE A DEADLY DECISION. “YOU’RE PUTTING YOURSELF AND THE REST OF THE MOTORISTS AT RISK.” AAA SAYS THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IS A RECORD-BREAKING TRAVEL WEEKEND. ACROSS THE COUNTRY, ALMOST 44 MILLION PEOPLE WILL BE ON THE ROADS… HERE IN GEORGIA… WE’LL SEE 1.2 MILLION DRIVERS… MORE THAN ANY OTHER MEMORIAL DAY IN AAA’S HISTORY. ((MONTRAE WAITERS/ AAA)) “YOU SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THE ROADS, AND IT’S ALREADY AFTERNOON, SO EXPECT LONG WAITS. WE EXPECT I-16 TO BE THE HEAVIEST TRAFFIC ROUTE ANYWHERE.” AAA SAYS WAIT TIMES COULD BE UP TO 90 MINUTES. BEST TIME TO DRIVE? AT NIGHT. SOT POP (WHAT I’VE ALREADY SEEN IS THAT PEOPLE DRIVE PRETTY RESPECTFUL HERE) MARK SCHUELLER TRAVELS FROM CALIFORNIA. ((MATT SCHUELLER/ TRAVELS FROM CALIFORNIA)) IT’S A LITTLE DISCOURAGING TO HEAR THAT THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT OF TRAFFIC, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE’RE IN NO RURSE. THIS IS THE ATTITUDE EVERY DRIVER SHOULD HAVE… ACCORDING TO HARRELSON. ((HARRELSON)) ALLOW YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION. IF IT’S A 30-MINUTE DRIVE, DON’T LEAVE 30 MINUTES EARLY; ​​LEAVE 45 MINUTES OR AN HOUR EARLY
