The police announced this in advance in order to make citizens aware of the “significant disruption to road traffic” that would be expected as a result.

Accordingly, a tractor rally is planned with the destination Frankfurt. “Severe traffic disruptions can therefore be expected in Hesse from the morning hours onwards”.

In the Frankfurt city area, there could be significant traffic disruptions due to tractors, particularly in the following places:

• A648 towards Frankfurt city center
• Theodor-Heuss-Allee
• Ludwig Erhard facility
• Friedrich Ebert facility
• Nibelungenallee.
