Return to the road with this safety checklist created specifically for the new standard. Take the following safety precautions to ensure a safe road trip during COVID'19.

 

1.Visiting Safe Zones – It's Better to Be Safe Than Sorry 

 

Before you start making travel plans, take your time to make a shortlist of safe zones. This move will ensure that you do not drag yourself into an unpleasant situation. Green zones have been developed across the country and are now considered safe for road travel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.Take A Planned Route – Not The Best Time For Detour

 

When taking a road trip during COVID, taking a detour is not the best option. The solution lies in the fact that various states' travel policies are constantly changing. As a result, it's best to keep track of state checkpoints and follow the travel policies of each state you pass through.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 3. Precautions Come First When Packing Safety Essentials

 

Pack these safety essentials, and you'll be ready to hit the road during COVID'19. Some of the safety essentials include masks, spare masks, separate sanitizer bottles for each, a generic sanitizer spray bottle (placed in the centre), face shields, disposable gloves and bags, ample wipes and tissues, and a car dustbin.

 

 

 

 

 

  4. Practice Social Distancing – More Isn't Always Better

 

It should go without saying that practising social distancing is important. At the start of COVID'19, more isn't always better. As a result, stay away from any social events or functions. Social distancing must be maintained at all times, whether at gas stations or checkpoints.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    5. Keep Up to Date – E-Pass Is Needed

 

 

If you're planning a road trip during COVID'19, this will undoubtedly come up. For travel on some days, several states have mandated the use of an e-pass. It's worth noting that state laws shift in response to the number of active COVID'19 events. As a result, it is preferable to conduct rigorous research and stay current.

 

 

 

 

6. The First Step Is To Sanitize Your Car

Before going on a road trip, make sure your vehicle is fully sanitized both inside and out. If you want to keep your travel companions happy, this is a must. This is a crucial move since the majority of the road trip will be spent inside the vehicle. It's also a good idea to sanitize car knobs every now and then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Make A Double-Check While Packing Travel Essentials

 

Another critical aspect of road trips during COVID'19 is having the required travel supplies. A personal first-aid package, a power bank, a water bottle, insect repellent, toiletries, toilet seat sanitizer spray, paper napkins, an eye mask, cash, etc. These may seem small things but will surely enhance the experience of your journey.

 

 

 

 

8. Stock Up On Dry Snacks – Don't Stop!

 

Don't leave home without enough dry snacks if you're going on a long road trip. It's best to admire the beauty from behind the windshield at COVID times. The more stops you make, the greater your chances of being exposed. As a result, it's a good idea to prepare ahead and stock up on chocolates, cookies, and dried fruit.
