If you’re going to travel by car, night does seem to be best. Yes, there are valid concerns of the dark and visibility and roadwork. However, if you can safely stay awake, it affords you the benefit of dealing with less hassle of excess traffic and congestion.
Another benefit, you don’t lose a day or the time to be doing something when things are open. You may be a little tired the next day but push through and it’s worth it. Hey, if you are fortunate enough to have company, not only can they help you stay awake if they’re up, but you can alternate and travel longer if one rests while the other travels onward.
Just a quick thought to share so you can ponder.
