Hitting the Road this Corpus Christi Weekend? Brace Yourself for Traffic Jams! 🚧🚗
Heavy traffic congestion anticipated on German motorways, as per ADAC's alert
Gear up, road trippers! This upcoming Corpus Christi weekend, the ADAC predicts messy highways across Germany. Officials from the automobile association dropped the news on Tuesday, highlighting the public holiday on Thursday, June 19, as a major cause for the anticipated gridlock. Many states in southern and western Germany observe Corpus Christi as a public holiday, making it the perfect excuse for a quick getaway for folks eager for a vacation.
Add to the mix the wrap-up of the two-week Pfingst holidays in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, and you've got a recipe for gridlock, especially on Saturday. Be prepared for bumper-to-bumper traffic on routes heading north, while Friday should be relatively quiet. Last year, Wednesday, the day before Corpus Christi, ranked among the top ten most congested days of the year.
Expect some serious bumper-to-bumper action on highways in the south and around major metropolitan areas, as well as routes traveling to and from the North and Baltic Seas. Corpus Christi is also a public holiday in Austria and Switzerland, so hiccups in traffic are anticipated in those countries too, particularly along the classic holiday routes.
If you've been frolicking around Croatia and are ready to head back home, brace yourself for traffic jams on the routes toward Germany. You might find the border crossings between Austria and Germany a bit slower than usual.
