Stau forecast for NRW: You need patience on Friday before Christmas!

The Christmas holidays are just around the corner, and this not only brings a festive atmosphere, but also greatly increased traffic on the highways in North Rhine-Westphalia. As reported by the ADAC in North Rhine-Westphalia, Friday, December 20, will be the most steady day of the entire holiday period, since all federal states are on vacation and workers, vacationers and last-minute buyers also populate the streets. Patience will be asked in particular between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Stammfarch on the holidays

also on Saturday, December 21st and on Monday, December 23, drivers should expect a lot of traffic. The main traffic roads, especially the A1, A2, A3 and A40 motorways, are main routes, as the ADAC forecasts show. The Situation is tightened by the extensive stretching and the winter road conditions. Travelers are asked to check their winter equipment comprehensively in the vehicle and, if necessary, to have winter tires and snow chains.

The risk of the stem will remain moderately to low on Christmas Eve and the first Christmas day. However, strong return travel is expected on December 26th. From January 6, the traffic jam intensity will increase again when many vacationers return from their travels, which already provides important information for all travelers. The ADAC recommends stopping the car on the outskirts if possible to avoid the search for parking spaces in the crowded city centers and advises to use public transport.

The situation will not only be noticeable in Germany: In addition, there is also increased traffic volume in neighboring countries such as Austria and Switzerland. Construction sites and winter burglaries could also significantly influence the travel plans. In this regard, information can be found on the official pages of the ADAC, for example here: ADAC Stauprognose NRW and ADAC traffic information .
