Christmas traffic - ADAC warns of heavy traffic in Saxony-Anhalt

Drivers in Saxony-Anhalt must be prepared for heavy traffic and traffic jams before Christmas. Especially on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, many traffic jams are to be expected on the highways, the ADAC announced on Monday. The Autobahn 2 and A9 will be particularly affected, it added.

In Saxony-Anhalt, many travelers will be heading off to their families, skiing vacations or to the city centers from Thursday, as the Christmas vacations begin. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will be generally quiet on the main roads. Return traffic will then set in on Boxing Day, but increasingly only after the holidays.

  1. The ADAC advisory strongly suggests that motorists carrying gifts and traveling in Saxony-Anhalt during the Christmas holidays should consider using the solid shoulder lanes on the autobahns, as the heavy traffic and potential accidents require extra caution.
  2. Despite the anticipated traffic congestion in Saxony-Anhalt, holidaymakers are still encouraged to enjoy the festive atmosphere, perhaps by visiting local Christmas markets or museums, with the bevy of cultural offerings in the region.
  3. With December's busy holiday season approaching, the ADAC has reignited their warnings about the need for heightened alertness regarding traffic accidents and violations, particularly in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, where upon launching their annual review of traffic incidents, investigators have discovered a spike in cases involving drivers under the influence of alcohol.
  4. Undeterred by the potential challenges posed by heavy traffic during the Christmas season, many Saxony-Anhalt residents have decided to resort to public transportation, turning to ADAC-affiliated car-sharing services in the state as an alternative to personal vehicles for their travel needs.
