Traffic jam forecast from December 30 to January 1, 2023
According to ADAC, the last weekend of the year will be mostly quiet on German autobahns. Due to the holiday season, there will be limited traffic during rush hour on Friday. On Saturday, December 31 (New Year’s Eve), many people are traveling to celebrate New Year’s Eve or for a ski holiday. However, long traffic jams are unlikely. Long-distance routes close to the Alps are especially affected. It looks different on Sunday 1 January. Traffic jams are to be expected, especially in the afternoon. In Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony and Thuringia the holidays are coming to an end and for many winter sports enthusiasts the Christmas holidays are coming to an end.
These are the most important traffic jams (in both directions):
• A 1 Cologne – Dortmund – Bremen – Hamburg
• A 2 Dortmund – Hanover – Braunschweig – Berlin
