The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is urging travelers to mix patience, courtesy, and safe driving practices into their holiday plans. With 1.65 million residents expected to travel at least 50 miles, drivers should plan ahead and prepare for busy roads and possible winter weather.

Peak travel times:

Wed., Nov. 26: 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Fri., Nov. 28: 1 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Sat., Nov. 29: 1 p.m. – 8 p.m.

Sun., Nov. 30: 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.
