I am fascinated with time lapse photography...and more and more photographers are getting creative with how they present their time lapse sequences. I love this example from Rob Whitworth out of the UK who shot this series in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam.
I hope your memorial day travels are less frenetic than the traffic he captured in HCMC. I think I'd avoid that intersection at the 1:00 minute mark.
Have a great holiday weekend!
