Labor Day – Recipes for the Road

Labor Day, observed on the first Monday of September, is a time to celebrate the hard work and contributions of America’s workforce. It’s also a popular weekend for road trips, meaning traffic will be heavier and safety on the road is especially important.

If you’re traveling this Labor Day weekend, a little preparation can go a long way toward keeping you and others safe.

Travel Smart and Stay Safe

Plan ahead: Map out your route before leaving, using GPS or navigation apps to avoid traffic bottlenecks and construction zones.

Check your car: Inspect tires, brakes, lights, and fluids before you go to make sure your vehicle is road-ready.

Stay sober: Never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Arrange for a sober driver or use public transit or rideshare services if you’ll be drinking.

Buckle up: Make sure every passenger is properly secured with a seat belt before the trip begins.

Look before you lock: Always check your back seat for children or pets before walking away.
