Why It Matters
Travel plans can change anytime - traffic, closures, or sudden delays. A ready backup means less stress, quicker decisions, and more confidence on the go.
Questions and Thoughts
- “Traffic changes daily.” → Keep one reliable alternate route; check live conditions before switching.
- “I’ll forget.” → Pin it in Maps or add to your favorites list.
Care Notes
Choose safe, well-lit routes for your backup. Avoid shortcuts through isolated areas. Update your backup after major changes (construction, new transit options).
