Current traffic reports

The information about traffic conditions comes not only from the affected cities, but also from GPS data collected by TomTom, Google Maps and other providers. These services provide current traffic jam warnings every five minutes and warn of construction sites and accidents. The real-time traffic maps from adac.de, which show where there is a problem and where the traffic flow is running smoothly, are particularly helpful. If necessary, route planning can be expanded to include a traffic forecast at a later date, which enables good preparation for upcoming traffic hurdles.

On highways, congestion is often caused by tailgating and sudden braking, a phenomenon known as the “accordion effect.” According to staumelder-karte.de, most traffic jams were recorded on the A3 and A8 in 2016 and today the risk of traffic jams is particularly high during the holiday season. It is recommended to take a look at the traffic reports before setting off and use alternative routes if necessary.

Tips for avoiding stress in traffic jams

Traffic jams can not only be time-consuming, but can also cause stress and aggressiveness. But don't panic! Here are some tips on how to get through traffic more calmly: simply cancel an appointment, take a deep breath, listen to music or collect positive impressions. If you like it, you can also get out and do some exercise to relax your body and mind.

And remember: consideration is also required in traffic jams. Keep the emergency lane clear and support road safety by leaving the hard shoulder clear for emergency vehicles. Good driving and lots of patience!
