Traffic jam ahead: Christmas trip creates a lot of patience in Austria!

Christmas traffic has the roads in Austria firmly under control on Saturday morning and is causing the first traffic jams, especially in the direction of the Balkan countries. According to information from the ÖAMTC, a significantly increased traffic volume can be observed on the route from the Austrian border crossing at Suben (A8) via the western motorway (A1) and the Vienna outer ring motorway (A21) to the eastern motorway (A4) to the Nickelsdorf border crossing. In front of this border crossing, vehicles were already jammed for over five kilometers, which indicates the high mobility of travelers who want to go south for the holidays meinkreis.at reported.

Traffic jams and patience on the highways

The Tauern Autobahn (A10) is also particularly affected, where drivers had to wait up to an hour and a half in front of the tunnel construction site near Golling. Travelers at the Karawanken Tunnel (A11) also had to expect waiting times of around 30 minutes. In addition, there is an urgent warning from the ÖAMTC that chains are required at higher altitudes due to winter conditions. This represents an additional challenge for travelers who should prepare optimally for their journeys. Before the holidays, the ÖAMTC expects traffic to continue to be heavy, which could lead to further disruptions ots.at determines.

The combination of the travel wave and winter traffic conditions makes this time particularly challenging for drivers. It should also be noted that weather conditions play a role in road safety that should not be underestimated. Drivers should always be prepared to reach their destination safely.
