Crowds in Europe due to holiday traffic: 1.5 hour wait for Gotthard tunnel

For example, it is busy on the A7 between Lyon and Avignon in France. The delay there is approximately one and a half hours, the ANWB reports.


Holidaymakers in Switzerland driving on the A2 in the direction of the Gotthardtunnel should expect a one and a half hour delay. Furthermore, it is busy on the A11 in Austria towards Slovenia. The delay on the way to the Karawankentunnel is approximately 45 minutes.

Problems Schiphol

Many people are also on the road in Italy. There are traffic jams in various places on the A22 from Bolzano to Verona and the extra travel time is approximately 45 minutes. On the A14 between Bologna and Rimini, the delay is one and a half hours.

It is expected that it can be busier during the holiday weeks than in other years, because more people take the car. For example, they want to avoid the crowds at Schiphol.


The ANWB previously advised not to leave too early:


A lot of crowds are expected throughout the weekend. In Germany it gets busy around Hamburg, Munich and Salzburg. There are also many road works.

Region North free

These also cause a lot of delay in Liège, in Belgium. Work is underway on the E25, which means the road is closed in both directions.

The holiday in the North region has also started in the Netherlands. The schools in the Central region have been closed for a week. For the children in the south of the Netherlands, the summer holiday starts next week.
