Overview

  • Autobahnpolizei reported calm conditions on the A4 and A9 on June 28, defying ADAC warnings of heavy traffic around the Hermsdorfer Kreuz junction.
  • Many vacationers are believed to have started their trips earlier in the week, reducing morning congestion on key Thuringian routes.
  • ADAC data projects that traffic will intensify in early July as Niedersachsen and North Rhine-Westphalia join the holiday season.
  • Schleswig-Holstein’s coastal resorts show strong mid-July bookings, yet last-minute, weather-driven reservations remain common.
  • Persistent motorway works on connections such as the A1, A7, A20 and at bottlenecks like Hermsdorfer Kreuz are set to amplify delays during the nationwide holiday overlap in early August.
