Despite AAA projecting a record-breaking travel period for the Fourth of July, many drivers and air travelers across the Upstate say the roads and airports were surprisingly calm. AAA estimated over 72 million Americans would travel over the holiday weekend, but some say traffic was lighter than expected.
Even at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, officials reported a typical summer weekend, not the overwhelming crowds many anticipated. AAA reminds travelers to check their vehicles for common summer issues like flat tires and dead batteries before hitting the road.
