Overview

• Peak pressure is forecast for Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon as return travel overlaps with weekend trips.
• Austria’s main transit corridors—the Tauern (A10), Inntal (A12) and Brenner (A13)—are highlighted for long jams, with works and access restrictions worsening flow.
• German long‑distance routes likely to clog include the A3 (Passau–Köln), A8 (Salzburg–München–Karlsruhe) and A9 (München–Berlin), alongside other Bavarian arteries such as the A93 and A99.
• ADAC counts roughly 1,258 autobahn construction sites in Germany, and the end of the Saturday summer truck ban adds freight traffic that can lengthen queues.
• Reinforced checks and lane constraints are expected to cause waits at key crossings such as Suben (A3), Walserberg (A8), Kiefersfelden (A93), with additional pressure from events like European Bike Week near Villach.
