Tourists take note: Here are the traffic jams this weekend

The summer travel traffic is slowly reaching its peak, and the traffic jams on the transit routes heading south are getting longer. Almost all federal states of our German neighbors are already on holiday, which means that the traffic jams on the German highways will continue on our main routes. Additionally, many travelers from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Scandinavia will be on the road, informs ÖAMTC traffic expert Alfred Obermayr.

ÖAMTC experts advise against holiday travel on Saturday

For those who are flexible with their time, Obermayr recommends not choosing Saturday for the trip to the holidays. "If you don't have this option, it is advisable to start your vacation either as early as possible or as late as possible, for example, only in the afternoon."

Mobile traffic jam advisor helps on site

ÖAMTC traffic jam advisor Florian Thaler will be on duty on Saturday on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) between Walserberg and St. Michael in Lungau. He assists drivers plagued by traffic jams with advice and support. He can fix small breakdowns on site to avoid kilometer-long traffic jams. With his motorcycle, he can easily bypass traffic jams, but the situation is different for emergency vehicles. Therefore, the ÖAMTC urges all drivers to pay special attention to forming an emergency lane.
