hit the Road... But Be Prepared for Some Bumps This Weekend! 🚗💪
Drivers endure extended delays, braving sweltering temperatures throughout the weekend. - Motorists Experience Lengthy Delays Amid Sweltering Conditions
Heard the news, motorists? This upcoming weekend is gonna be a scorcher in southern Germany, and with that comes a hefty dose of traffic jams. Here's why:
- The Whitsun holidays are in full swing in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, while summer vacations are already underway in Italy and Sweden. The road to the south and the Baltic Sea? Yep, it's gonna be a popular choice, my friend!
- And let's not forget about Hamburg's Elbtunnel, which is currently out of commission due to construction.
- But wait, there's more! With around 1,100 active construction sites on German motorways, there's no shortage of obstacles to navigate.
The German Weather Service predicts temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius across the center to the southwest of Germany, meaning it's gonna be a hot one! 🥵💦
So, how can you make the most of this weekend road trip? Here's the ADAC's advice:
- Stock up on water and light snacks to keep those energy levels up, and don't crank the AC too low. Going overboard can lead to some nasty circulatory problems.
- Got kids? Keep 'em safe in the shade during breaks and slather on that sunscreen!
- If you can, hit the road during the cooler mornings or evenings. Traffic will be less congested, and you'll be able to enjoy the journey a little more!
Stay cool out there, and safe travels! 🛵🌞🚀

Top Tips:- Areas with popular events or tourist spots tend to be more congested. Keep an eye on local event calendars to stay informed.- High temperatures can lead to increased traffic as more people travel. However, extreme heat might not directly cause congestion but could affect traffic if it leads to more leisure travel.- Construction and road accidents can significantly impact traffic flow. Check local road conditions before hitting the road.- For precise information, consider visiting the official ADAC website or checking local traffic news.
- As you prepare for your weekend road trip in Germany, remember that some EC countries like Italy and Sweden are also on their summer vacations, making popular routes like the one to the south and the Baltic Sea even more crowded.
- To avoid circulatory problems while keeping cool during long drives, follow ADAC's advice and stock up on water and light snacks, and avoid setting the air conditioning too low.
