Slow traffic is degenerating: those avoiding traffic jams use private roads and yards - those affected become desperate. Annemarie Bauer lives with her two sons in a fairly remote spot in the market town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
She estimates that 20 to 50 cars drive across the private road and her yard on some summer weekends. The so-called sports road is only open to agricultural and forestry traffic as well as to residents and serves as a footpath and cycle path.
