Overview

• Tyrol’s blockabfertigung at Kufstein limited heavy trucks to roughly 250–300 per hour on Sept. 8, triggering an Lkw queue up to 25 kilometers on the A93 into Bavaria before easing by afternoon.
• Berchtesgadener Land introduced situational exit and through‑traffic bans near the A8 to deter diversion through local roads on busy Fridays to Sundays, with police spot checks and fines for violations.
• ADAC and ACE forecast dense return traffic from Sept. 12–14 on routes including A7, A8, A9 and A93, compounded by more than 1,200 roadworks and resumed heavy‑goods movements after the holiday ban.
• Severe rainfall in western NRW flooded streets and cellars, forced evacuations in several towns, and led to motorway disruptions including a flooded A46 tunnel, an A1–A59 link closure near Leverkusen and a truck overturn on the A4 near Frechen.
• A24 rail‑replacement operations faced another bus incident near Kogel; the empty articulated coach left the roadway, no one was injured, police checks found no defect and the bus continued after recovery.
