The UK has a weekend like this too (sometime last month) when all the university students in all the university cities move to other digs, or back home for Summer/Good. It results in horrendous traffic full of parents in large cars full of stuff packaged around the student stuck in one of the back seats. The way around it if you live local is to remember that the parents will not know the local roads, and to avoid the direct routes that a route planner would suggest. If you are driving long distance, then you might be best travelling early in the morning.
