It’s happening—you’re stuck on the interstate trying to get out of town for Memorial Day weekend. You knew it was inevitable. You told yourself to leave earlier, you told yourself this year would be different, and you’d get to your destination without all this mess, but here you are.

You’re not alone. In 2025, AAA estimated that over 45 million Americans traveled, with road trips setting new records.

Never fear, we’ve got you covered on how to get through Memorial Day traffic.

• Music: If the tunes from the car radio are not your jam, then apps like Pandora, iTunes, and Spotify can stream whatever you’re looking for.
• Video: If you’re the passenger on a long road trip, YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu can be your best friend and help kill a few hours. If you’re looking to really up your entertainment factor, or need a way to occupy the kids, check out Meta Quest, an all-in-one VR headset you can take on the go.
• Books: Luckily if you forgot to pack your book or e-reader, the Amazon Kindle app lets you read from your phone. If you’re the driver, you can still catch up on the plot through apps like Audible.

Still stuck in traffic and want a way around it? Apps like Waze, Google Maps, and MapQuest are good options.

One other tip!

You can always chat with your car-mates about the future of wireless. And better yet, challenge a game of ‘I Spy’ for different wireless infrastructure you see along your route.
