Baustellen-Chaos: 10% von Deutschlands Autobahnen aktuell gesperrt!

Deutschland - The construction site situation on Germany's highways is currently extremely challenging. Around 10% of the total motorway network is currently affected by construction work. This means that a total length of more than 2000 kilometers is being rebuilt at the moment. Around 1,000 construction projects are also being processed, with twice the number of travel directions affected by the work. The descriptions in the reports clarify that construction sites are one of the main causes of traffic jams on German highways.

Special problems arise when lanes are eliminated or the permissible speed is significantly reduced. In such situations, traffic jams are practically inevitable. In many of the construction sites, the track width is reduced to 2.50 meters, which is a real challenge, especially for larger vehicles. Another challenge is the view and route at night, where the unfavorable lighting can also lead to critical traffic situations. Especially in these phases there are often accidents.

The dimensions of the motorway network

A Alemanha possui uma rede rodoviária de cerca de 650.000 quilômetros, com a rede de auto -estrada com quase 13.000 quilômetros a segunda maior da Europa. There are a total of around 1,300 kilometers of motorway in Germany that can be used without a speed limit. These long-distance traffic roads play a central role in quick and freight traffic in the country. A Autobahn GmbH é responsável pela construção e pela administração da rede de rodovias na Alemanha desde 2021. Apesar do crescente número de emprego, no entanto, a expansão da rodovia está estagnada.

In recent years, it has become clear that the quality of the streets and the condition of the motorway bridges requires a higher investment. Investments of around 8.77 billion euros are planned for 2024 to improve the condition of the infrastructure.

traffic jams and accident risks

The traffic jams on highways are a growing problem. Em 2023, 427.000 horas foram registradas sozinhas nas rodovias alemãs, o que representa um aumento de cerca de 30 % em comparação com o ano anterior. In addition to construction sites, accidents and high traffic are also among the most common causes of traffic jams. No passado, observava -se que engarrafamentos com um comprimento total de mais de 600.000 quilômetros realizados em 2012. No A99, uma das rodovias mais afetadas, havia notável 2.655 engarrafamentos por 100 quilômetros no tráfego de viagens de verão.

Unfortunately, accidents are also worrying. In 2023 there were 2,320 crashed per 1,000 kilometers on German highways. As causas mais comuns do acidente são a distância insuficiente e a velocidade não adaptada, que sublinha a importância dos ajustes seguros de direção e velocidade em situações críticas.

In summary, the current reports from kn online , stau.info e Statista that the construction site situation on German cars are complex. The future expansion and maintenance of these decisive traffic routes must be a priority in order to ensure security and the flow of traffic.
