Traffic forecast: The traffic jam season is coming to an end - but it won't be completely smooth sailing.
The major summer traffic jams are over, but the risk of congestion remains high on some motorways. Which routes are affected and how you can possibly avoid rush hour.
The Auto Club Europa (ACE) and ADAC warn of potential traffic congestion on German roads this weekend, September 4-9, as the summer holiday season comes to an end in most states, except Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. Despite the end of summer holidays in many areas, traffic volume remains high, and many roads are expected to be congested, particularly on routes to the Alps, mid-mountain ranges, and coastlines.
The ACE advises drivers to plan alternative routes or travel on quieter days, such as Tuesday and Wednesday, and to avoid peak hours. Over 1,000 roadworks and planned motorway closures will also contribute to delays, with the highest risk of congestion expected on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.
