Traffic congestion expected on highways during the upcoming weekend as per ADAC's warning - Weekend travel on highways predicted to be congested, according to ADAC
As the summer holidays approach, travellers planning road trips should be aware of potential traffic hotspots and key events that may impact their journeys.
Coastal routes, particularly those leading to popular beaches, are expected to experience congestion, especially on Fridays and Sundays. Similarly, major highways like the A7 and A9 in Germany can be busy during holiday weekends as people travel to southern Europe. Interchanges near large cities like Munich, Berlin, and Hamburg can also be congested due to local traffic and holiday travelers.
Travellers heading towards the Netherlands might find the A57 and A67 busy, while routes to Scandinavia often involve the A1 and A2. However, it's important to note that real-time traffic data or specific advisories for major motorways during the upcoming weekend are not currently available.
Several key events and advisories should also be considered when planning a trip. The ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club) often provides traffic advisories, so it's advisable to check their website for specific updates on traffic conditions.
The summer holiday rush is expected to result in increased delays on major routes, especially during peak travel times. A driving ban for trucks over 7.5 tonnes applies every Saturday in July and August from 07:00 to 20:00 on congestion-prone motorways. Delays may also occur at the borders due to random checks on the Tauern motorway in Austria.
The Golling-Werfen tunnel chain on the Tauern motorway in Austria, which was completed at the end of June, is now two lanes wide. However, delays may still occur on international main travel routes.
While events like those in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie might not directly impact regular traffic, they could potentially cause local disruptions.
For precise traffic updates and advisories, it's advisable to check the latest information from local traffic authorities and event organizers close to the travel date. Websites like ADAC's traffic services or local news outlets can provide real-time updates. Safe travels and enjoy your summer holiday!
