Preparing for Christmas Traffic in Saxony-Anhalt: ADAC's Warning
Get ready for heavy traffic and potential roadblocks in Saxony-Anhalt this holiday season. ADAC, the German automobile club, has issued a warning regarding the increased congestion expected on highways, specifically the Autobahn 2 and A9. Watch out for traffic jams, especially on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, as many travelers are heading off for family visits, ski vacations, or city excursions.
The Christmas holidays will see a significant number of travelers hitting the roads starting from Thursday. However, the roads will be relatively calm on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Boxing Day will see an increase in return traffic but remember, it won't be as busy until after the holidays.
Proactive Driving Strategies
ADAC advises motorists in Saxony-Anhalt to exercise extra caution during this period. If you're carrying gifts and traveling during the Christmas holidays, consider using the solid shoulder lanes on the autobahns. This is especially recommended considering the heavy traffic and potential accidents that may occur.
Make the Most of Your Holidays
Despite the anticipated traffic congestion, the holiday spirit shouldn’t be dampened. Take advantage of the festive atmosphere by visiting local Christmas markets or museums. Saxony-Anhalt has a rich cultural offer that should not be missed.
Combat Heavy Traffic with Alternative Transport Solutions
Decidedly, the busy holiday season is not an excuse to slow down your holiday plans. Saxony-Anhalt residents are turning to public transportation and car-sharing services as an alternative to personal vehicles. ADAC-affiliated car-sharing services in the state are becoming increasingly popular as a solution to handle the increased traffic.
