Heavy Traffic Expected Across Germany Ahead of Christmas

The ADAC warns of severe congestion on roads, railways, and airports as millions travel for the holidays, with December 20 predicted to be the busiest day.

• December 20, the start of nationwide school holidays, is projected to be the most congested travel day, with a mix of commuter, holiday, and shopping traffic.
• Major highways, including the A1, A3, A7, and A8, are likely to see significant delays, particularly near urban centers and construction zones.
• Travelers are advised to plan flexibly, avoid peak hours, and consider alternative routes or public transportation to reduce delays.
• Airports, including Frankfurt, anticipate over a million passengers during the holiday period, with early check-ins recommended to avoid long wait times.
• Traffic is expected to ease on Christmas Eve and the first holiday, but congestion will resume on December 26 as return journeys and ski trips begin.
