Holidays - ADAC expects heavy traffic on highways before Christmas

In the pre-Christmas road traffic, the ADAC expects higher volumes on the highways in NRW, especially on December 21 and 22 in the afternoon hours. This is when commuters, family visitors and holidaymakers can be expected at the same time, the ADAC said on Monday. The association did not expect chaotic conditions on the freeways. From the middle of this week, the first federal states will start their Christmas vacations, including Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt, Hamburg and Thuringia in addition to North Rhine-Westphalia.

An increased risk of traffic jams can be expected on Saturday mornings. The routes into the city centers could also become more congested if the last presents are bought shortly before Christmas. "For a last-minute trip to buy presents or visit a Christmas market, public transport can be a good alternative to the car," recommended the ADAC. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, there will probably be little traffic on the trunk roads in NRW. "On December 26, the risk of traffic jams will also be manageable despite some return traffic," predicted the association.
