Long Traffic Jams in Return Traffic After the Long Weekend

The return traffic after the long weekend led to numerous traffic jams on highways and north-south routes in Salzburg, Tyrol, and Upper Austria on Sunday. According to ÖAMTC, it was remarkable that by midday, it was no longer possible to proceed on many roads.

On Sunday, holidaymakers were stuck in return traffic on the Tauern Motorway (A10) at Golling-Werfen in Salzburg. Heading north, there was already a three-hour traffic jam from 1:00 PM, while heading south, one had to expect a two-hour delay. According to Harald Lasser from ÖAMTC, this is unusual for a Sunday. The alternative routes at Bischofshofen, Werfen, and Golling were also affected.

Return Traffic: Up to 16 Kilometers of Traffic Jam in Tyrol

It was also difficult to make progress in Tyrol. On the Fernpass route (B179) towards Germany between Reutte and Füssen, nothing moved at times over a length of 16 kilometers. ÖAMTC recorded seven kilometers of traffic jam on the Seefelder Straße (B177) between Seefeld and Scharnitz, as well as on the Walchsee Straße (B172) between Kranzach and Niederndorf towards Kufstein. In Upper Austria, there was a one-hour delay in sections on the Pyhrn Motorway (A9) heading north between Gleinkerau and Inzersdorf. At the border crossings Kufstein (exit) as well as Spielfeld and Nickelsdorf (entry), there were up to 30 minutes of waiting time each.
