Spring Break Travel Tips With TurnSignl

Spring break is right around the corner, which means some necessary relaxation, vacationing, and sunshine! However, it also means long road-trips, increased police presence, and unfamiliar laws. If you are traveling soon, read along to ensure you have all the fun and relaxation you deserve: backed by safety.

Tip #1: Stay Up to Date on Laws and Regulations

While many driving laws are federally regulated, some factors, such as speed limits, stop signs, and traffic signals, are left to the state or city to decide. For example, while turning right on red is a driving maneuver that many don’t think twice about, it is actually illegal in New York City unless otherwise posted.

Another thing to pay attention to is speed limits, which vary widely by state. Texas, for example, has a maximum speed limit of 85 mph while Hawaii caps at 60 mph. If you are going to be driving in a new state, make sure you read up on driving laws and regulations to ensure a stress-free and safe trip!

Tip #2: Know Your Rights

Large crowds have led to property damage and destruction in many spring break hotspots. Because of that, cities like Miami, Panama Beach, and more have increased their police presence during spring break time.

With increased patrols comes a greater likelihood of being stopped, questioned, or interacting with law enforcement in some way.

It is always important to know and understand your rights as an individual, but even more so in situations like these. To read and understand your rights in the state you are traveling to, you can check the American Civil Liberties Union website, or go straight to the TurnSignl app.
