Peak holiday travel expected Wednesday and Sunday

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - Wednesday and Sunday are expected to be the busiest travel days of the holiday week as millions of Americans make their way to their Thanksgiving destinations.

The CHP’s Thanksgiving Maximum Enforcement Period begins Wednesday, meaning officers will be out in full force watching for speeding, impaired driving, seatbelt violations, and other dangerous behaviors on the road.
