A record-breaking 46.9 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more this Independence Day according to AAA.
Despite gas prices being the highest over July 4th in the past four years, a large number of travelers are undeterred in planning a road trip.
Analysts predict nearly 40 million Americans will hit the road which could cause travel times in big cities to be twice as long than a normal trip.
Tuesday, July 3rd is expected to be the busiest travel day of the holiday week.
