Prepare for Hell on Wheels: Pre-Christmas Traffic Chaos Awaits
Get ready to navigate the traffic nightmares, folks! According to ADAC, the pre-Christmas travel wave is rolling in, and all highways are bearing the brunt of it. An ADAC spokesperson shared their insights, stating, "We're dealing with traffic jams in all directions."
As a result, visitors, vacationers, and shoppers from far and wide are joining the festive traffic madness. Unfortunately, this travel wave was further exacerbated by the inclement weather, which led to train cancellations, requiring extra caution from drivers.
On Friday, the Autobahn 8 from Munich to Salzburg was the epitome of chaos, with stop-and-go traffic for an astounding 22 kilometers. Several ten-kilometer-long traffic jams also wreaked havoc across the highways.
But beware, travelers heading towards Bavaria on the Autobahn 8 towards Salzburg, the heavy traffic may have you waiting longer than expected.
The Silent Warriors
The ADAC is keeping a close eye on the roads this season, bracing themselves for more chaos this Saturday. However, Christmas Eve might offer a brief respite, said the spokesperson.
Two's Company, Three's a Crowd
To avoid the rush, travelers should consider alternative modes of transportation such as trains or planes. If you’re willing to bend your plans, try to avoid the busiest times often around midday.
Don't Be a Cause for Caution
When driving on the crowded roads, remember to stay alert and keep an eye out for long vehicles like trucks. ADAC advocates for exercising extra caution, especially when overtaking these vehicles, advising drivers to maintain a safe distance and patience.
