He expects significantly more traffic on the roads over Easter. Especially on Maundy Thursday and Easter Monday, drivers have to expect traffic jams. Here is an overview of which routes are subject to particularly high loads.
According to the ADAC, there is a high probability that there will be traffic jams on the motorways around Easter. Travel is likely to be significantly higher than in the past two years. In all federal states except Hamburg, school holidays are possible again, national trips are possible again, and there are hardly any corona restrictions: “Therefore, the traffic jam situation will be more tense than at the last two Easter festivals,” said the ADAC in Munich on request.
The high fuel price should hardly affect visits to relatives, excursions and short trips to ski resorts in the Alps or to the North and Baltic Seas. “Maundy Thursday was one of the five busiest days of the year in 2019, and this year too (April 14) commuters will be on their way home and drivers on their way to their families or relatives,” expects the ADAC. The club also expects a little more traffic on Easter Monday. On Easter Sunday, on the other hand, things should be quieter.
According to the experts, the following routes will be particularly affected:
- A1 Bremen – Hamburg and Dortmund – Cologne
- A1/A3/A4 Cologne Ring
- A3 Würzburg – Nuremberg – Passau
- A5 Karlsruhe – Basel
- A6 Mannheim – Heilbronn – Nuremberg
- A7 Hanover – Flensburg and Würzburg – Ulm – Füssen/Reutte
- A8 Stuttgart – Munich – Salzburg
- A9 Nuremberg – Munich
- A10 Berlin Ring
- A61 Mönchengladbach – Koblenz – Ludwigshafen
- A81 Stuttgart – Singen
- A93 Inntal triangle – Kufstein
- A95/B2 Munich – Garmisch-Partenkirchen
- A99 bypass Munich
There may also be an Easter traffic jam on international routes
Easter vacationers should also allow for delays on classic international routes. These include the West, Tauern and Brenner autobahns in Austria and the Gotthard route in Switzerland. There should not be delays of more than 30 minutes at the main border crossings when entering or leaving the country.
