Overview

• ADAC forecasts numerous, long traffic jams nationwide on August 30–31, with the heaviest pressure expected in southern Germany.
• Return waves from northern German states and parts of the Netherlands and Austria coincide with ongoing vacations in Bavaria and Baden‑Württemberg, creating a mix of homebound traffic and late starters.
• Risk hotspots in Bavaria include the A3, A7, A8, A9, A93, A95/B2 and the A99 around Munich, with peak congestion likely Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.
• Rosenheim county is enforcing weekend exit and transit bans at selected A8 and A93 junctions through September 15, with police checks and fines for diversion traffic.
• Austrian transit routes A10, A12 and A13 are also expected to see long delays due to holiday finales, events and works such as the Luegbrücke project, and drivers should anticipate waits at border points including Kufstein and Suben as well as German crossings like A4 Ludwigsdorf, A11 Pomellen, A12 Frankfurt (Oder) and A15 Forst.
