Overview
- ADAC forecasts heavy congestion from February 13 on major Alpine routes, especially the A7, A8, A93, A95/B2 and the A99.
- Overlapping school breaks in Bavaria, Saarland, Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Thuringia, plus holidays in the Netherlands and parts of Austria, are expected to swell traffic.
- Through-traffic bans on local roads near the A7, A8, A93 and B2 — including measures by the Ostallgäu district along the A7 — will restrict detours off the autobahn.
- Munich’s Security Conference is expected to trigger temporary shutdowns on the A99 and A92 and inner-city restrictions around the Bayerischer Hof and Rosewood hotels, with police aiming to limit disruption.
- Active construction zones, including work at the Luegbrücke on Austria’s Brenner A13, could amplify delays from even minor incidents, and ADAC urges flexible plans, ample time buffers, full winter gear and prearranged vignettes.
