The travel club expects 870,000 North Carolina motorists will take trips of 50 miles or more between Thursday and Monday, an increase of less than 1 percent over last year.

AAA expects about 424,000 South Carolina drivers to hit the road this weekend, about 1 percent move than last year's forecast.
