Angesichts der Sommerferien in mittlerweile neun Bundesländern hat der ADAC vor zahlreichen Staus am kommenden Wochenende gewarnt. Zudem seien die Schulen in den Niederlanden und in Skandinavien geschlossen, teilte der Automobilklub in München mit.

Overview

  • The ADAC warns of a second major travel wave from July 18 to 20 on key north–south corridors toward Croatia and Italy.
  • More than 1,200 motorway construction sites and full closures on Germany’s autobahns are reducing traffic capacity.
  • An existing Saturday ban on trucks over 7.5 tonnes is expected to amplify congestion on crucial routes including the A3, A8 and A9.
  • Tighter border controls at Suben, Walserberg and Kiefersfelden are adding hours to crossing times.
  • Motorists are advised to depart early, avoid peak days of Friday and Saturday and rely on real-time traffic services to minimize delays.
