Traffic chaos in Rostock: traffic jam alarm for A19, A20 and B103!

Currently the traffic picture in and around Rostock is quite mixed: While some streets are heavily frequented, others give a relaxing journey. The local transport initiatives strive to inform drivers as best as possible and report possible traffic jams at an early stage.

Today, on July 16, 2025, several traffic jams are registered in Rostock, including on the E55 between Am Warnowkai and Südstraße I and on the L12 between the city highway - Warnemünde and Börgerendende/Rethwisch. This leads to time loss of around three to four minutes each, whereby the traffic jam and construction site information is regularly updated. According to Staumelder-Map, various blocks are also noted, but with no significant delays.

construction sites and restrictions

The Neubrandenburger Straße in Rostock will be in the spotlight from February 2025, because here you will be renovated in three parts. The section from level crossing to residential area Molkerei/Röthsoll is particularly affected. Drivers have to prepare for restrictions for about nine months. In addition, the municipal utilities are planning a district heating supply for the surrounding residential areas, which will also lead to months of closure. That reports the Ostsee-Zeitung.

There are other permanent construction sites in the city. The bridge in the racetrack avenue at the zoo is rebuilt, with a demolition that will be sought for autumn 2026. The Vorpommern bridge along the L22 via the Warnow is also demolished and replaced, whereby the completion of a new bridge is planned in about 15 years.

traffic monitoring and technology

In order to continue to monitor the traffic situation in the future, the authorities rely on the "TomTom" service. Here, GPS coordinates are used by millions of end devices, supplemented by data from around 80 million mobile phone devices and several million official road sensors that are updated every five minutes. This technology ensures that the drivers always receive the necessary information about traffic jams and free travel.

Alternatively, Google Maps, Apple cards and Garmin have also become important to access current traffic information. This means that numerous options are available to the drivers to get an overview of road traffic.
