Stauchaos on the B167: Motorists between Alt Ruppin and Neuruppin desperately!

Stauchaos on the B167: Motorists between Alt Ruppin and Neuruppin desperately!

On Friday, a makeshift bar in Alt Ruppin provided a real traffic attack on the B167 towards Herzberg. The traffic jam extended to the upper level center in Neuruppin and almost brought drivers to despair. Some raised their hands and chose the apparently simpler but risky path - they drove through the roundabout in a wrong way to turn the B122 towards Zippelsförde and Rheinsberg. It is a situation that many of us know from painful experience: the traffic jam becomes a test of patience.

construction sites and traffic management

Another reason for the backlog chaos is the longer full closure of the access to Gildenhall from the direction of Neuruppin. This measure has been in place since May and made life difficult for the school children because they had to stop at the Seedamm and had to run to the Gildenhall primary school. The bus company ORP threatened that the school buses were no longer driven due to the poor condition of the Hermsdorfer Weg. But here too there are bright spots: new construction work for repairing Hermsdorfer Weg are already in the starting blocks and are to be implemented during the summer vacation.

The city administration was not able to carry out a fundamental renovation for a long time. A new construction of the Hermsdorfer Weg failed due to the high costs and complicated ownership. Now the city has finally provided funds for the asphalt ceiling so that the residents can breathe a sigh of relief. In a few weeks, a good hand will also ensure less traffic jams at this point!

The traffic jams in Germany

A look at the statistics shows that the dustage in Germany does not decrease. According to current reports, the traffic jams rose in the first months of 2024 compared to the previous year. A total of 448,000 hours were stuck in traffic, which corresponds to an increase of 21,000 hours compared to 2023. North Rhine-Westphalia was particularly affected and recorded 31.5 percent of the ducilometer.

The most common dust formations are due to increased traffic and numerous construction sites. A real danger in tight traffic is the so -called accordion effect, which arises in particular on highways through abrupt brakes and leads to even more traffic jams. The weather conditions also contributed the rest to her, such as the winter road conditions in November, which caused additional traffic problems.

traffic jams do not come overnight - and they are indispensable from everyday life. So if you have to go to the streets after work or at the weekend, you should be prepared that traffic jams like the one on the B167 in Neuruppin can belong to the usual picture. It is all the more important to check the current traffic reports before the trips to avoid the stress test on the street.

But how can you best prepare for traffic jams? Tips for avoiding stress include, among other things, simply breathing deeply, listening to good music or making a short detour to the fresh air. So the travel time remains a little relaxed!
