THE TRIBUNE-P HONOGRAPH PUBLISHED IN COLBY THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1972 Travelers to have companion Labor Day Vacationers will have a familiar traveling companion this Labor Day weekend as the American Auto Service will again be riding with Wisconsin drivers. The traffic reporting service, designed to reduce deaths and injuries during heavily traveled holidays, will be coordinated at State Patrol district headquarters in Madison and broadcast on 90 radio stations around the state. AAA is cosponsoring the service with the State Division of Highway Safety Coordination.
The traffic reports will alert drivers of heavily traveled highway s, accidents, alternate routes–should a particular stretch become overloaded – and even where the fish are biting and campsites are vacant.
AAA road reporters, the Civil Patrol, State Patrol, local law enforcement officials and amateur radio operators will be on the airways with motorists, collecting firsthand information on traffic conditions during the holiday push.
AAA officials said the heaviest concentration of traffic pounding up north and back is expected to be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to noon Saturday and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday. Traffic on the interstate Sunday is expected to be relatively light.
