Summer holidays started: Müllberg on motorways in Weißenfels!

Burgenlandkreis, Deutschland - The summer weekend from July 12th to 13th, 2025 is likely to turn out to be the most busy weekend of the summer vacation, mz.de . The traffic situation is particularly a challenge for the highways in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) where numerous families start the holidays. With the beginning of the summer holidays on July 11th in NRW, travel ranges rose suddenly. Motorists have to adjust to full roads and the resulting traffic jams, as many towards the north and Baltic coast, but also to the south.

traffic experts warn of particularly high stored risk on Friday afternoon when many professionals compete in their vacation trips. Stowation times are particularly pronounced on Fridays between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Close traffic is also to be expected on Wednesdays and Thursdays, especially in the morning and at lunchtime. In addition, the travelers have to expect 650 to 700 construction sites on the motorways in North Rhine-Westphalia these days, which brings additional delays, as well as ADAC.de reported.

stowage forecasts and construction sites

highlight of the risk of traffic jams are mainly motorways such as the A1, A3 and A4 in the culinary area. Stau -prone sections such as the Kamener Kreuz or the routes between Münster and Ascheberg must be observed. Travelers should ask themselves: Is it worth taking off the motorway at traffic jams? Departure often does not bring an advantage, except for traffic jams over 10 km or full closures. If you also adhere to the traffic rules for the formation of a rescue alley, you can also avoid fines up to 320 euros, reports the ADAC.

• A1: Münster-Hiltrup-Ascheberg
• A2: Kreuz Oberhausen - Bottrop
• A3: Kreuz Oberhausen-Oberhausen-Holten
• A40: Duisburg-Rheinhausen-Duisburg-Homberg
• A45: Dortmund-Süd-Westhofener Kreuz

An eye should also be on the construction sites when traveling: Currently around 1263 construction sites are active nationwide, which require patience and planning in order to get to the goal, such as the Reisere reporter reported. In large cities like Cologne, the streets are heavily loaded by commuter traffic and vacation travelers.

increased garbage and responsibility of drivers

particularly bad luck is the Weißenfels motorway master, which has to fight garbage on the rest areas with an increase in garbage. Steffen Genthe, the deputy head of the Meisteri, has found that the increased travel traffic leads to a significant increase in waste. This not only does work, but also shows that more sensitivity of travelers in relation to their ecological footprint is necessary.

So it is time for all drivers: bring patience and plan early! With these tips you not only get faster, but also more relaxed. A small detour via the alternative traffic routes could also be worthwhile to avoid traffic jams and make the travel experience more pleasant.
