ADAC warns of traffic jams on German motorways in August

The second weekend in August (11th to 13th August) could become a test of patience for drivers, because the ADAC warns of many and long traffic jams on Germany's highways. The reason for the expected traffic chaos is the end of the summer holidays in Lower Saxony, Bremen, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, which will lead many vacationers back home.

According to the ADAC, the remote roads from the North and Baltic Sea are particularly affected to the south, especially the A7 and A1 motorways. In order to avoid traffic jams, the ADAC recommends either traveling a week or using quieter alternative routes. According to the ADAC, the routes to the holiday areas on the coasts and in the mountains could also be at risk, but not as strong as on the past weekends. In particular, drivers from Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, where the third summer vacation week begins, should prepare on full roads.

Berlin is also affected by the stem. On the A111 between Stolpe and Waidmannsluster Damm, there is an acute risk of traffic jams due to a construction site, which will last until September 4th. In addition, this section will be completely blocked on August 25th and from September 2 to September 9th.

A certain relief for all motorway users brings the truck holiday driving ban, which is still valid until the end of August on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. This is intended to reduce bottlenecks on the motorways by heavy -duty traffic.

drivers should therefore prepare for the coming weekend and expect longer travel times. An early trip or the use of alternative routes can help to escape the traffic jam.
