Traveling to Cape the week of July 4th

Is that a horrendous week to travel to the Cape, from a traffic point of view? Seems like there is more availability, but I hate to chance it!

No, it is not horrendous...at least not on the outer cape. With the 4th falling on a Wednesday this year the usual traffic should be spread out over both adjacent weekends. Weekends, of course, will be fairly busy just because it is summer but if you base yourself on the outer cape, as opposed to busy Rt. 28 in Yarmouth for example, you will find the traffic quite manageable.

Thanks yellowbird! I think I%26#39;m going the week of the 9th but if my work plans get changed, the week before might be an option!

Just so you%26#39;re aware, the worst times to travel to Cape Cod are late Friday afternoon and evening and late Saturday morning and early afternoon. If you can avoid those times, you%26#39;ll be a lot happier camper.

And coming back, late Sunday afternoon and evening. If it%26#39;s raining, it gets busier earlier.

Thanks, good to know!
