Google has a bunch of traffic data from 25 US cities it collected during the Thanksgiving holiday in 2018, and the company has shared that data to give you a heads up of when to travel during Thanksgiving this year to avoid the hideous traffic that usually piles up.
Basically, wherever you are, don't get in the car between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, since that's when you'll face the worst traffic.
Google tells you the best times to start your car travels, but you're probably not going to like it - the best travel start times usually involve the very wee hours of the morning.
