Travel forecasts for the July 4th period show that a record-breaking number of Americans plan to travel across the country using various means of transport.

7月4日期間的旅遊預測顯示，將有創紀錄數量的美國人計劃透過各種交通方式在全國範圍內出行。

According to data from AAA, approximately 72.2 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home between June 27 and July 5. This is a slight increase over last year's record of 71.8 million. While growth in car and air travel has remained mostly flat, there is a noticeable increase in other methods, such as cruises. Cars remain the most popular choice, with 85% of travelers—about 61 million people—using personal vehicles, even though fuel prices have reached a four-year high. For example, average fuel prices in South Carolina were $3.47 per gallon as of June 29.

根據AAA的數據，在6月27日至7月5日之間，預計約有7,220萬人將離開家鄉50英里或以上旅行。這比去年創紀錄的7,180萬人略有增加。雖然開車和飛機旅行的增長基本持平，但其他方式（如郵輪）有明顯增加。儘管燃料價格達到四年高點，開車仍是最受歡迎的選擇，85%的旅客（約6,100萬人）使用私人車輛。例如，截至6月29日，南卡羅來納州的平均燃料價格為每加侖3.47美元。

Furthermore, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) emphasized that the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the FIFA World Cup are both causing more congestion at airports. The TSA expects to screen 18.7 million passengers between June 30 and July 6, while AAA predicts 5.85 million domestic flights. Experts suggest that July 2 will be the busiest day for both passengers and car rentals. In areas like Upstate South Carolina, major roads such as I-85 and I-26 are expected to be very crowded. Additionally, officials have raised safety concerns regarding the increase in young drivers and drunk driving during the holiday.

此外，美國運輸安全管理局（TSA）強調，獨立宣言250週年與FIFA世界盃均導致機場更加擁擠。TSA預計在6月30日至7月6日之間將篩查1,870萬名乘客，而AAA預測將有585萬個國內航班。專家建議，7月2日將是乘客與租車最繁忙的一天。在南卡羅來納州北部等地區，I-85和I-26等主要道路預計將非常擁擠。此外，官方對假期期間年輕駕駛者增加及酒後駕車的安全問題表示擔憂。

In summary, the US is facing unprecedented travel volumes, which will likely lead to significant traffic and delays across the national transport system.

總結來說，美國正面臨前所未有的出行人數，這可能會導致全國交通系統出現嚴重擁堵與延遲。
