Full roads and long traffic jams – according to the ADAC, you can expect considerable difficulties on the way to the Baltic Sea in summer. The experts warn of impending travel chaos.
Kassel – Umbrellas, loungers and towels as far as the eye can see – many beaches on the Baltic Sea were overcrowded on the weekend of July 20th/21st. People flocked to Warnemünde, to the beach in Timmendorf and to Binz on Rügen. The reason for the sudden rush: summer holidays have begun in Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg, Berlin and Brandenburg.
Trip to the Baltic Sea: ADAC speaks of “extremely tense” situation – “hottest traffic jam weekend” expected
“There was really a lot going on,” said ADAC spokeswoman Katharina Luca when asked by IPPEN.MEDIA“And next weekend it will probably not be any better, as all federal states will be on holiday then. We expect it to be the ‘hottest’ traffic jam weekend yet.”
According to the ADAC, the following routes are particularly prone to traffic jams:
- A1 Cologne – Dortmund – Bremen – Lübeck
- A3 Frankfurt – Nuremberg – Passau
- A5 Frankfurt – Karlsruhe – Basel
- A6 Mannheim – Heilbronn – Nuremberg
- A7 Hamburg – Flensburg
- A7 Hamburg – Hanover and Würzburg – Ulm – Füssen/Reutte
- A8 Stuttgart – Munich – Salzburg
- A9 Berlin – Nuremberg – Munich
- A10 Berlin Ring
- A11 Berlin – Uckermark Triangle
- A19 triangle Wittstock – Rostock
- A24 Berlin – Hamburg
- A61 Mönchengladbach – Koblenz – Ludwigshafen
- A93 Inntal Triangle – Kufstein
- A95/B2 Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- A99 Munich bypass
Practical for all travellers heading north: The Ostseezeitung presents Real-time data ready for travel planning.
The traffic reports come from Stralsund and Rügen as well as from the roads in the region, the motorways such as the A20, and the federal roads such as B96, B105, B194 or B196.
Three tips from the ADAC for a stress-free holiday trip
- Travel during the week: “Often there is no other option, but if you can avoid it, you should not drive on Saturdays or Sundays, but during the week. There is always less traffic on the roads between Tuesday and Thursday,” says ADAC spokeswoman Luca.
- Starting very early or very late: “To avoid major traffic jams, travelers should start very early or very late in the day if this is compatible with their travel schedule.”
- Consider the trip as part of the vacation: “If possible, perhaps take a stop along the traffic jam route to look at something,” advises Luca.
Traffic jams on the way to your vacation are annoying. It is even more annoying when you have to pay a fine for misbehaving in a traffic jam. If you take your bike on vacation, you should also follow a few rules to avoid fines. (Building)
