As travelers head home after Thanksgiving weekend, officials say parts of the Central Coast are heavily impacted by holiday traffic.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Templeton division said in an X post on Sunday evening that traffic in North County was severely backed up due to holiday travel.
The agency reported that the section of the highway from SR-46 East to Santa Barbara Road saw stop-and-go traffic and frustrated drivers.
Officials advised drivers to avoid southbound Highway 101 if possible.
