Motorists need strong nerves again. In its current traffic jam forecast, the ADAC warns of congested motorways throughout Germany on the days around Ascension Day. It could get tight HERE.
The 9-euro ticket is only valid from June 1, 2022, but the next public holiday is still in this month. Many citizens become Ascension of Christ on Thursday, May 26th, will probably forego an expensive bus or train journey and instead set off on a short vacation with family or friends by car. But the trip could cost a lot of nerves – and not just because of the currently high fuel prices.
Forecast from the ADAC: There is a risk of traffic jams on Ascension Day, especially in the metropolitan areas
Around the bridge day weekend, the ADAC expects numerous traffic jams. “The streets should be significantly fuller than on the Ascension Day weekends of the previous two years,” said the traffic club. Reason: Corona no longer restricts national travel. The ADAC expects the first peak of traffic jams on Wednesday afternoon from around 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. The return wave will then reach its peak on Sunday afternoon. Above all, the highways in the metropolitan areas are at risk of congestion. On Friday, however, the ADAC expects rather quiet traffic. In many federal states, there is no school on the day after Ascension Day.
Attention drivers! It could get tight on these highways at Ascension Day 2022
The ADAC sees the greatest risk of traffic jams on the long-distance roads to and from the coast in the metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Munich and on the following motorways:
- A1 Cologne – Bremen – Hamburg – Lübeck
- A2 Berlin – Hannover – Dortmund
- A3 Cologne – Frankfurt – Würzburg – Nuremberg
- A4 Kirchheimer Dreieck – Erfurt – Chemnitz – Dresden
