SEATTLE — From Thursday to next Tuesday, there's expected to be more traffic than normal on Washington state's major roadways as people hit the road for Labor Day weekend.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) compiled travel charts to show what times of day traffic is expected to be the most and least congested on Interstate 5, Interstate 90 and U.S. Route 2.

Here are the travel charts to make planning your Labor Day road trip easier. During red hours, traffic analysts predict travel will reach roadway capacity, which means any small incident can cause a significant backup, according to WSDOT.
