Holiday traffic causes heavy traffic jams on European roads | Inland

According to a spokesperson for the traffic service, it is gradually getting busier on foreign roads. “Especially in France on the A7 under Lyon, the A63 at Bordeaux and the A9 at Narbonne you see the crowds, but also at a number of tunnels in Austria and Switzerland.” For example, holidaymakers driving in Switzerland on the A2 towards the Gotthardtunnel should take into account waiting times of one and a half hours. The roads are also busy in the north of Italy, especially in South Tyrol.

Also on the road to Slovenia there is a traffic jam for an hour towards the Karawankentunnel, which was closed for a while due to technical problems. Furthermore, in southern Germany there is pressure on the roads to the southeast, especially around Nuremberg and Munich.

The ANWB expects that it will be very busy in France on Saturday on the roads to the south and that the peak will be between 12.00 and 12.30.

Huge crowds in front of the Channel Tunnel

Although it is certainly busy on the continent, the longest traffic jams are currently in Kent, England. Rows of cars are waiting to be allowed through the Channel Tunnel to France. Due to Brexit, they have to go through stricter controls, but according to the British, the fault lies with the French.
