Germany is on vacation – or on the way there. The summer holidays begin this weekend (July 15 to 17, 2022) in five other federal states. Also means: The freeways and trunk roads are full. Reason enough to take a close look at the current ADAC traffic jam forecast.

In some places there are also many people who do not have to stick to holiday dates. The logical consequence: car travelers need a lot of patience at the weekend. According to the ADAC, there is a risk of walking speed on some sections of the holiday motorways.
This is where the longest traffic jams threaten at the weekend
If there is a standstill on the motorway: never forget to form a rescue lane!
The ADAC warns that the peak traffic jam times are Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. If you can, you should switch to quieter alternative routes or to another travel day, for example Monday or Tuesday.
At least there is some relief from the additional truck holiday driving ban, which applies until the end of August on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. – in addition to the general driving ban on Sundays and public holidays.
There are so many highway construction sites
Naturally, there is a risk of traffic jams before motorway construction sites with narrow lanes.
The traffic jams from A1 to A99
• Trunk roads to and from the North and Baltic Seas • Greater Hamburg and Berlin areas • A1 Bremen – Lübeck • A3 Würzburg – Nuremberg – Passau • A4 Kirchheimer Dreieck – Bad Hersfeld – Erfurt – Dresden • A5 Karlsruhe – Basel • A6 Nuremberg – Heilbronn • A7 Hamburg – Flensburg • A7 Hamburg – Hanover and Würzburg – Ulm – Füssen/Reutte • A8 Stuttgart – Munich – Salzburg • A9 Halle/Leipzig – Nuremberg – Munich • A10 Berliner Ring • A11 Berlin – Dreieck Uckermark • A19 Dreieck Wittstock/Dosse – Rostock • A24 Hamburg – Berlin • A61 Mönchengladbach – Koblenz – Ludwigshafen • A72 Leipzig – Chemnitz – Hof • A93 Inntal triangle – Kufstein • A95/B2 Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen • A99 motorway ring Munich
Traffic jam forecast for abroad
There is also a lot of activity on the roads abroad. The problem routes include the Tauern, Fernpass, Arlberg, Rhine Valley, Brenner, Karawanken and Gotthard routes as well as the long-distance roads to the Mediterranean coasts. According to the ADAC, holiday traffic to Northern Europe will also be considerable.
Navigation devices in the test
In Austria, increased traffic is to be expected along the Inntal, Brenner and Tauern autobahns due to the closure of alternative routes.
If you drive to the Netherlands by car, you should allow for longer driving times, as farmers have recently repeatedly blocked important roads in the country.
What is the traffic jam situation like at the borders?
When driving to neighboring countries, waiting times of around 60 minutes should be planned at the borders; significantly more for trips to Slovenia and Croatia, Greece and Turkey, according to the ADAC.
Upon entry, the three motorway border crossings are Suben (A3 Linz – Passau), Walserberg (A8 Salzburg – Munich) and Kiefersfelden (A93 Kufstein – Rosenheim) particularly at risk of congestion.
