Hamburger stood almost 20,000 kilometers in traffic jams last year - Hamburg belongs to Germany's most stored cities

Hamburgers were almost 20,000 kilometers in the traffic jam last year

also in 2023 Hamburg is one of the most staggered cities in Germany. Only Berlin has more traffic jams. Last year, a total of 19,647 kilometers of traffic jams were measured on Hamburg's highways. Drivers spent 11,748 hours in traffic jam. Compared to 2022, this results in an increase of 4.9% and 1,467 hours. This corresponds to an increase of 14.3%. Even the introduction of the 49 euro ticket in May 2023 could not drastically reduce the stamina and they are slowly approaching the level in front of Corona pandemic. It is interesting that Monday and Friday are no longer the most staved days of the week because many companies have introduced home office regulations.

Hamburg takes second place behind Berlin with 158 stores per motorway kilometer nationwide. The average in Germany is 32 hours per motorway kilometer. The longest route with traffic jams in Hamburg was measured on Maundy Thursday, April 6th, on the A1 between Dibbersen and Ahrensburg, which had a length of 30 kilometers. Here, climate activists led to a blocking of the Elbe tunnel to the north, which led to massive traffic jams on the detour routes. In second place there is a traffic jam of 25 kilometers on October 7 on the A1 between Stapelfeld and the Maschener Kreuz, followed by a 21 kilometer traffic jam on the A7 between Henstedt-Ulzburg and the Maschener Kreuz.
