Best Time to Travel
The best time to start your journey is very early in the morning (e.g., 5:30 AM - 6:30 AM) to beat the morning rush hour. Alternatively, travel mid-day (around 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) to avoid both morning and evening peak traffic. Avoid traveling between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM, and definitely avoid late-night travel.
