The provider TomTom, which is known for its precise traffic information, reports traffic jams on the A111 motorway at the Oranienburg junction to the Berlin state border as well as on the A24 from Kremmen to Fehrbellin and the A10 between the Oranienburg junction and the Pankow triangle. The federal highways B96 from Oranienburg to Fürstenberg, B167 from Eberswalde to Neuruppin and B109 from Zehdenick to Templin are also affected. TomTom's data is updated every five minutes and is based on GPS coordinates from millions of devices and mobile devices, which provides an excellent representation of the current traffic situation.
Current traffic jams and risk of accidents
As we learn from staumelder-karte.de, traffic jams on the motorways are particularly common during the holiday season and are often triggered by tailgating and abrupt braking - also known as the accordion effect. The traffic situation worsens when school holidays overlap in several federal states. This not only poses a challenge for drivers, but also increases the risk of accidents on crowded roads.
Another important aspect is the formation of the emergency lane. If there are two lanes, vehicles should move left in the left lane and right in the right lane. If there are three or more lanes, a similar rule must be observed: left lane to the left, other lanes to the right. This is crucial so that emergency vehicles can get to injured people as quickly as possible in traffic jams.
Stress at the wheel – tips for relaxing
Traffic jams not only mean a loss of time, but can also cause stress and aggressiveness. It is therefore advisable to check information about the traffic situation before setting off.

This includes canceling appointments if possible, taking a deep breath and turning up the music or simply enjoying the scenery.
With over 723,000 traffic jams on the motorways alone last year, while traffic jam hours have increased to around 457,000, road traffic is a challenge that should not be underestimated, especially during the holiday season. The busiest months, such as May and June, show this clearly: plan your trips around busy times, especially between 7 and 9 a.m. and 3 and 6 p.m., to avoid unnecessary stress.
So stay calm, be considerate of other road users and drive safely!
