Samaim - you, me and all our friends know it and use it.

During the summer months, one thing we have figured out about Meredith traffic is timing. We avoid going south on RT 25 during the hours of 10am-1pm on Saturdays as most renters north of Meredith have to be out by 11 am and all of them come down RT 25. We also avoid going north on RT 3 coming into Meredith between the hours of 1-5 on Saturday afternoon, because new renters cannot check in until after 3 pm. And of course, most of the afternoon Sundays going south as most out of town folks are heading back south; bad weather days are better for traffic than nice weather days as people tend to leave sporadically on bad weather days, but on nice weather days, everyone decides to leave around 4pm or 5 pm.
Bottom line, plan early morning or late afternoon/evenings to travel through Meredith on the weekends.
