How will COVID-19 restrictions impact your summer travel or commute? Will you sit in less traffic this summer or the same as last year? And how less are we talking? It’s tricky to gauge how COVID-19 restrictions will impact summer travel but transportation analysts for INRIX and AAA combined forces to provide a helpful projection on what travelers can expect to encounter on the roads this summer. Analysts looked at all 50 states and the top 20 metropolitan areas.

You can read the full prediction report here. Below are snippets from the report which rank states and metropolitan areas according to the following scale:

•Lower: Probably not going to run into “normal” traffic congestion while traveling
•Middle: Below 50% chance to run into “normal” traffic congestion while traveling
•Upper: More likely than not to run into “normal” traffic congestion while traveling
