You'll likely have to share the road if you plan to travel this Thanksgiving.

AAA predicts travel during the Thanksgiving weekend will be 3 percent higher than it was last year. It says a more stable economy is the reason behind the increase.

AAA says even though many Americans remain unemployed or under financial stress, they are confident the economy is improving.

Travelers are also paying nearly 55 cents higher in gas costs than last year.
