Traffic jam alarm in Remscheid: These streets are now particularly affected!

Remscheid.Traffic jam alert in the region! Where does the traffic come to a standstill? Current reports show that the A1 and A46 motorways as well as the B51, B229, B237 and B483 federal highways are affected by massive delays. The traffic situation is tense and drivers in Remscheid, Wermelskirchen, Solingen and Wuppertal have to prepare for significant disruptions. The RGA traffic jam detector provides real-time information about the most important traffic routes, where traffic jams form and where accidents cause unexpected delays.

The A1 motorway between Cologne and Dortmund is particularly a hot spot for traffic jams, with almost 6,500 hours of traffic jams this year! The A46, which is an important connection between Düsseldorf and Wuppertal, is also affected. For many Remscheid residents, this route is the direct route to the state capital and suffers from the construction sites, especially at the Wuppertal-Nord motorway junction, where extensive renovation work is planned.

Major roads and current sources of congestion

The B229, which runs through Radevormwald and Remscheid, is a central traffic artery that connects the region with the Sauerland. The B237, which runs from Wipperfürth via Hückeswagen to Remscheid, is also very important for commuters. The B51 and L74 are also heavily used and contribute to the traffic density in the region. In Wermelskirchen and Burscheid, traffic jams are particularly common around the A1 exits, which further exacerbates the situation.

The data for the RGA traffic jam detector comes from the “TomTom” service, which uses GPS data from millions of devices and is updated every five minutes. This precise information is crucial to inform drivers in a timely manner about the current traffic situation and to help them avoid traffic jams.
