How to avoid the traffic on roads and highways with many motorists driving from North to South for the July and August trips on the occasion of the holidays? For round-trip travel it is recommended to follow the traffic forecast of July and August 2024, so as not to get stuck in traffic highway along endless queues in the exodus (and counter-exodus).

The exodus towards summer destinations creates intense traffic on the highway, especially when exiting large cities. The dates to avoid are those with the red dotalso scheduled for Julymore precisely Friday afternoon July 19th and 26thSaturday morning July 20th and all day Saturday July 27th.
Traffic forecast for summer 2024 exodus, red and black dot in August
But the real and most intense summer exodus of 2024 is expected in August, with the first weekend of the month being very critical; the morning of Saturday 3rd August in fact it is marked with the fearsome black dotbut only in the morning because in the afternoon we move to red (indicating still significant traffic, but less intense than the black mark), as well as Friday 2nd and Sunday morning 4th August.
The same scenario of heavy traffic is repeated the following weekend with the Saturday morning August 10th with black dot.

TO Ferragosto the situation on our roads, on the other hand, is expected to be very calm, with the days of August 14th and 15th even marked by the green stamp. The last day of red of the summer exodus is in fact that of Saturday morning August 17th.
Traffic counter-exodus summer 2024
After August 15, the traffic situation on our roads becomes critical due to the counter-exodus. In fact, the red dot days are the days of August 17, 18 and 19even if the afternoon of the Monday is marked with the yellow dotindicating traffic that is still significant but less intense than the red dot. The same scenario of intense traffic from the red dot also applies to the following weekend, with the days of Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th possibly to be avoided.
