A long weekend is just around the corner, many will use it for a holiday. The ADAC therefore warns of traffic jams. It could already be tight on Wednesday.
Munich – According to the ADAC, drivers must expect many traffic jams on the long Ascension Day weekend. As the automobile club announced on Monday in Munich, the greatest traffic delays are expected on the highways in the metropolitan areas and the most important travel routes to the coasts and mountains. Drivers have to be patient because of more than a thousand construction sites. The ADAC expects the first peak of traffic jams on Wednesday between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m.
Danger of traffic jams from Wednesday: In many federal states, there is no school on Friday
In the federal states of Berlin, Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Lower Saxony, Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia, there is no school on the Friday after the public holiday. Vacationers from Hamburg and Saxony-Anhalt are also on the way, where the week-long vacation ends. According to the ADAC, the wave of return trips therefore peaks on Sunday afternoon until the evening. On the other hand, it should be quiet on the trunk roads on Friday and Saturday.

According to the automobile club, the greatest risk of traffic jams is on trunk roads to and from the coast, on the A1 from Cologne via Bremen and Hamburg to Lübeck, on the A2 from Berlin via Hanover to Dortmund and on the A9 from München to Nuremberg. The metropolitan areas of Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart and Munich are also particularly affected.
Danger of traffic jams – Ascension Day is also a public holiday in Austria and Switzerland
Ascension Day is also a holiday in Austria and Switzerland, which should lead to heavy excursion traffic when the weather is nice, as the automobile club explained. This will be particularly noticeable on the access roads to the Alpine countries – in Austria, for example, the Carinthian lakes, the Salzkammergut, Lake Neusiedl and the recreational areas of the Swiss cantons of Ticino and Valais.
Slightly longer journey times should therefore also be planned for on the Tauern, Fernpass, Brenner, Rhine Valley and Gotthard routes. According to the ADAC, however, the stays at the borders when entering and leaving the country should not exceed 30 minutes.
