It is estimated that around 38 million Americans are going to be travelling during the Memorial Day over the weekend. Memorial Day is the informal start off of summer. Thus, people should see the Memorial Day weekend as the second most hectic event there is for the year, as seen by the AAA on Thursday when the news write-up was released, as written in an article in Masslive.com.

The auto club sees 700,000 more travellers to travel on the road cross country on Memorial Day 2016 as compared to last year's Memorial Day. For instance, in Massachusetts, 786,173 residents in Bay State have plans on going on cross-country road trips on Memorial Day weekend. This statistics is just a 2.3 percent more than last year's statistics when spoken for local area residents' data.

The cross country travel statistics in the USA are the firsts in increase since the recession hit the country in 2005. Since the recession hit America, many Americans have decreased the frequency they travel, as reported as well in Masslive.com.

Word has it as well that low gasoline prices are among the reasons why more Americans are travelling on the road this summer for Memorial Day weekend, as reported in Northjersey.com.

American Automobile Association president, Marshall Doney, announced in a statement released over the email the extent Americans are travelling more on the road this summer.

Doney said, "Americans are eagerly awaiting the start of summer and are ready to travel in numbers not seen in more than a decade. The great American road trip is officially back thanks to low gas prices, and millions of people from coast to coast are ready to kick off summer with a Memorial Day getaway."

Thus, many Americans are excited to see sights and sceneries on the road while they travel with loved ones to the places in the USA they have never been to.
