Traffic jam catastrophe in Germany: ADAC warns of mega traffic jams!
The ADAC traffic jam forecasts show a high level of traffic on Germany's roads for the coming weekend. The transit axes in particular are affected, which poses challenges for travelers and transporters alike. Loud ADAC The A1, A3, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9 and A93 motorways are the most important routes that are important for traffic from Austria, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
Travelers should prepare for extensive diversions and extended journey times, especially on the A45, which is considered a central north-south route. The Berliner Ring (A10) and the A99 near Munich are also in focus, as bypasses of large metropolitan areas can attract traffic jams. There will also be several full closures this weekend, which will put additional strain on traffic: the A42 between Kamp-Lintfort and Dortmund and the A46 between Wuppertal and Düsseldorf. These measures are temporary, but they can significantly disrupt traffic flow.
Special traffic situation
In addition to the construction sites and closures, there are travel bans on transit routes to Austria in Bavaria until the end of the summer holidays, for example on the A8 between Bad Aibling and Felden. Police will also send vehicles attempting to avoid onto country roads back onto the highway.
The situation also remains tense in other European countries. Construction sites on the Brenner motorway (A13) in Austria as well as the exit closures on the Inntal motorway (A12) contribute to the risk of traffic jams. Full closures are also expected in the Mont Blanc Tunnel area until mid-December, which will make travel from Italy and France even more difficult.
Current information and recommendations
In order to keep a better eye on the traffic situation ADAC Maps Real-time information about traffic flow, construction sites and possible dangerous situations. This can help travelers adjust their routes accordingly. Additionally there is on autobahn.de an interactive dashboard that displays the current traffic situation and also provides information on traffic jams and construction sites.
For transport companies, the ADAC recommends scheduling planned trips on Tuesday to Thursday if possible, as the risk of traffic jams is significantly lower on these days. The roads are particularly busy on Fridays and Sundays, which can lead to longer travel times for time-critical deliveries. To minimize stress on the roads, alternative routes should be considered.
Overall, it appears that travelers and road users are well advised to obtain comprehensive information in advance and plan enough time. This means the trip can be approached in a relaxed manner despite the challenges.
