Now the holidays are also ending in the last federal states. But despite less traffic, travelers still get stuck in traffic jams in some places – where does it take a lot of patience?
With Hesse and Schleswig-Holstein, the holidays end in the last two federal states. The Auto Club Europe (ACE) expects more traffic on the return routes next weekend (April 21-23).
The number of excursions and trips continues to pick up speed – especially for everyone who travels independently of holiday dates. Nevertheless, with the end of the holiday, the greatest risk of traffic jams was initially averted.
That’s how he calculates ADAC in its forecast with manageable travel traffic. However, things do not run smoothly everywhere. This is due to numerous closures – including on the A1, A2, A6, A7, A8, A25, A44, A93 motorways.
There are also around 1200 construction sites, which the ACE also identifies as a bottleneck. The risk of traffic jams is highest in such areas – according to the ADAC, a lot of patience is required, especially in busy traffic.
According to ACE, the traffic jam peak is on Friday, when there will be a lot going on from early noon until late in the evening, especially around the metropolitan areas. On Saturday, the car club expects more traffic, especially on southern German roads in the north and west. This also applies to the routes from the German coasts.
On Sunday, the return routes in particular are well attended. Excursion traffic is also noticeable on the secondary routes, especially when the weather is good.
The ACE considers delays in the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Rhein-Main and Munich, on the trunk roads to and from the North and Baltic Seas and on the following routes (often in both directions) to be possible:
|
A 1 |
Cologne – Dortmund – Bremen – Hamburg – Lübeck |
|
A 3 |
Passau – Nuremberg – Würzburg Frankfurt/Main |
|
A 5 |
Basel – Karlsruhe – Frankfurt/Main |
|
A 6 |
Nürnberg – Heilbronn – Mannheim – Kaiserslautern |
|
A 7 |
Füssen – Ulm – Würzburg – Hanover – Hamburg – Flensburg |
|
A 8 |
Salzburg – Munich – Stuttgart – Karlsruhe |
|
A 9 |
Munich – Nuremberg – Berlin |
|
A 10 |
Berliner Ring |
|
A 61 |
Ludwigshafen – Koblenz – Mönchengladbach |
|
A 81 |
Singing – Stuttgart – Heilbronn |
|
A 93 |
Kiefersfelden – Inntal triangle |
|
A 99 |
Bypass Munich |
Travelers are also better off planning a little more time for journeys on the classic transit routes in Austria and Switzerland. The clubs expect a slightly increased volume of traffic from departing passengers.
Delays are particularly possible on the Tauern, Inntal and Brenner autobahns, as well as the Fernpass route in Austria and the Gotthard route in Switzerland. According to the ADAC, there should be no long traffic jams, but construction sites could delay the journey somewhat.
Short delays are also likely on the return journey at the borders from Austria to Germany. You can see how long you have to wait at the Walserberg (Salzburg – Bad Reichenhall), Kiefersfelden (Kufstein Süd – Kiefersfelden) and Suben (Ort i. Innkreis – Pocking) crossings online at the Austrian infrastructure company Asfinag.
