These are the worst spots for Thanksgiving traffic in the Baltimore area

Nothing says “Happy Thanksgiving” like complaining about holiday traffic.

And the tradition should continue this year, with 1.1 million Marylanders set to travel for the holiday weekend, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic — the most in more than a dozen years.

To help ease the pain, AAA recommends traveling on Thanksgiving Day, Friday or Saturday.

The agency and analytics firm INRIX also determined the 15 spots around the Baltimore area that are likely to see the worst congestion. Here are the roads to avoid, if you can:

1. 295 North at the Interstate 95 split

2. 295 North at the MD-100 split

3. I-95 North at the MD-100 exit (Exit 43)

4. I-695 traveling counterclockwise at Edmondson Ave. (Exit 14)

5. I-95 North at Boston Street (Exit 57)

Why aren’t you, Aunt Martha? Seriously folks, it’s the 21st century. People can do what they want in their romantic lives, so let’s let them do that without judgment. You also might want to check your sexism. This question is almost always asked of women over men. But times are a-changing! It’s no longer a gal’s responsibility to be pretty/smart/appealing/perfect enough to land a beau. And ladies, if someone at the table asks you why you aren’t tied down yet, don’t let it get to you. Whether or not you are in a relationship has nothing to do with your success or your worth. (istockphoto.com)
