Stau forecast at Pentecost: traffic chaos on all highways!

Kamp-Lintfort, Deutschland - The long Whit of Pentecost is just around the corner and the travel preparation is in full swing. The current forecasts show that there will be considerable traffic jams nationwide. In particular from the federal states of Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia, many drivers will be on the road, because on Tuesday, June 10th, the schools have no school there. In addition, the two-week holidays start in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, which further strengthens the travel tower. The ADAC expects a noticeable increase in traffic, for example in the direction of the popular holiday destinations in the Alps, the low mountain ranges and on the coasts.

The risk of the congestion is particularly high in southern Germany, and the forecasts show that high traffic is expected on several days. Many travelers are particularly attracting the peak times, around Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Whit Monday in the afternoon. In addition, the Pentecost Sunday, June 8th, is the best day of travel for excursions and trips on Germany's streets. So drivers should be prepared for full roads and patience.

stressed routes and closures

A look at the most stressed motorways shows that traffic on the A1, A2, A3 and many others will require a lot of patience. The most common traffic jams are:

• A1 Lübeck - Hamburg - Bremen - Dortmund - Cologne
• A2 Dortmund - Hanover - Berlin
• A3 Cologne - Frankfurt/Main - Würzburg - Nuremberg - Passau
• A5 Frankfurt/Main - Karlsruhe - Basel
• A7 Flensburg - Hamburg - Hanover - Kassel - Würzburg - Füssen/Reutte
• A9 Berlin - Leipzig - Nuremberg - Munich

In addition, there are some announced full closures: From Friday, June 6, 10 p.m. to Monday, June 16, 5 a.m., the A42 between Kamp-Lintfort and Dortmund is closed. The A45 between Hagen and Gießen also remains closed until further notice.

international traffic conditions

The travel chaos will not only be noticeable on German highways. Dense traffic is also expected in neighboring countries, especially in Austria and Switzerland. Delays are to be expected on the Brenner, Inntal and Tauern motorway, while in Switzerland the Gottharroute could also be heavily burdened. Construction sites and an increased volume of traffic increase significantly.

If you want to drive abroad via Germany, you must also expect longer waiting times at the border crossings, in particular by random -like entry controls that have been strengthened since the beginning of May. In particular at the transitions such as Suben and Walserberg, drivers could have to be patient.

security and regulations

For all road users, it is important to form a rescue alley even when the traffic stalls in order to be able to react quickly in an emergency. If you fail to do this, you have to expect fines of up to 320 euros. Even if it matters, drivers should not forget to plan their trip well and keep an eye on the current traffic information.

All in all, much indicates that the Pentecost weekend will be a constant patience for drivers. With the right preparations and a cool head, it can still become a nice family outing or a successful short vacation. The ADAC has made public on its pages today that traffic jams can be a challenge not only on German roads, but also internationally. Drivers should be prepared for a full street scene and prepared.
