Overview

• The ADAC predicts up to 4,000 traffic jams on the first August weekend as summer breaks in all sixteen states trigger peak holiday travel.
• Nearly 1,250 active autobahn construction sites and the renewal of the 1.8-kilometer Luegbrücke at the Brenner Pass are narrowing lanes and intensifying bottlenecks.
• Municipalities along the A8 between Munich and Salzburg are finalizing plans for time-limited transit bans after Rosenheim’s district administrator and local mayors petitioned for temporary exit restrictions.
• Autobahn GmbH is installing white signboards urging drivers to stay on motorways and rolling out digital displays to warn of local road closures during anticipated congestion.
• The ADAC urges motorists to avoid weekend travel, shift trips to midweek and nighttime, adhere to zipper merging, and take breaks every 90 minutes to navigate the busy network safely.
