SEND US YOUR PHOTOS: Let us know if you're seeing what has become the weekly exodus to and from the beach.

Will the weather keep them away?

Every summer weekend, the traffic on Route 72 West has been bumper-to-bumper and moving at a crawl between the Garden State Parkway and the Causeway into Ship Bottom.

Typically, you should anticipate up to a half hour, or more, to travel between LBI and the Garden State Parkway. Mill Creek Road is typically backed up to where it meets East Bay Avenue and East Bay Avenue leading down to Marsha Drive, and the last light before the Causeway is usually backed up.
