Stauwahnsinn on the Pentecost weekend: Drivers have to be patient!

Dortmund, Deutschland - This coming weekend that heralds the long Pentecost weekend, traffic experts expect considerable traffic jams on the highways in Germany. According to the ADAC , drivers from almost all federal states are on the move, travelers from Berlin, Brandenburg, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia are particularly strong on the streets. The latter have school -free on Tuesday, June 10th, which also increases travel.

Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria start a two-week holiday season at the same time, which also contributes to a compression of traffic. The risk of traffic jams in southern Germany is particularly pronounced, where many travelers go to popular destinations such as the Alps, the low mountain ranges as well as the North and Baltic Sea and to neighboring countries.

peak times and stressed routes

The forecast reveals that the traffic load is particularly high at the following times:

• Friday afternoon, June 6th
• Saturday morning, June 7th
• Pentecost Sunday, June 8th (the best day of travel)
• Whit Monday, June 9th (especially in the afternoon)
• Tuesday, June 10th

For travelers, the following carways are particularly affected by traffic jams:

is emphasized that only a full closure on the A42 between Kamp-Lintfort and Dortmund, which lasted from Friday, June 6th at 10 p.m. to Monday, June 16 at 5 a.m. There is also a long -term lock of the A45 between Hagen and Gießen, which remains in force until further notice.

international traffic jams and border controls

traffic jams can also be expected on international routes, especially on the Brenner motorway, Inntal motorway and Tauern motorway in Austria. Germany has been carrying out random border controls since the beginning of May, which can lead to waiting times at certain transitions.

Another important note concerns the formation of emergency streets: This must be formed when the traffic is stalled, otherwise fines of up to 320 euros for non -compliance.

die news.de emphasizes that Stau forecasts are similar for the coming weekend. The main traffic times are comparable to those of the previous year, so that Friday before Pentecost is expected to be one of the most staggered days. There is a high risk of traffic jams in particular on long-distance roads towards the North and Baltic Sea and on the A1 to A95 motorways. In Austria and Switzerland too, there will probably be traffic jams on important routes.
