Stau-chaos in Greifswald and Usedom: Avoidable traffic problems!

On December 20, 2024, the traffic situation in Greifswald and Usedom causes excitement among drivers. Like the Ostsee-Zeitung reports, there are numerous traffic jams and delays on important roads. A current traffic jam report shows that not only construction sites but also accidents affect the traffic situation. The data comes from the “TomTom” transport service, which records information from a variety of GPS devices in real time. Drivers are therefore well informed to change their routes if necessary.

traffic problems and infrastructure in Usedom

In addition, the Stadtistik that the city of Usedom, which is located in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district, comprises 39.06 km² and only includes 1,725 inhabitants. Due to the low population density of 44.16 inhabitants per km², Usedom is considered a city with plenty of space, which is noticeable in the tourist area. When it comes to accommodation, it is striking that the city has few hotels and guest houses, which leads to low bed utilization, even though the district has a certain tourist interest.

The current traffic situation in this Region is therefore an important topic that is closely linked to the existing infrastructures. While the construction work on the streets finally lay down, solutions for the tourist offers in Usedom could be carefully planned. The coming weeks and months could be crucial to effectively tackle traffic problems and to better use the tourist potential of the region.
