Thousands of Marylanders expected to drive for Memorial Day weekend, MDOT says
MARYLAND () — As thousands of Marylanders get ready to hit the road for Memorial Day weekend, officials are urging drivers to stay alert and drive safely. According to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT), thousands of residents are expected to travel more than 50 miles away from home during the holiday weekend. This means that traffic could be heavy toward the Eastern Shore beaches on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and on Monday, Memorial Day. According to AAA, 45.1 million people will travel for the holiday weekend. This is a 1.4 million increase in travelers compared to 2024.

I urge everyone to join the Department in being Serious About Safety and practicing safe driving – buckle up, slow down, pay attention and drive sober. Together we can bend the curve on roadway fatalities and work towards Maryland's goal of zero deaths.' The department noted that in 2024, more than 575 people lost their lives on roads across Maryland. So far this year, there have already been 150 deaths. MDOT encourages Marylanders to stay focused, slow down, drive sober, move over for any stopped cars and to stay prepared.
