The Easter holidays bring Germany onto the streets.
It is expected that there will be a lot of traffic jams.
But the climax doesn't come until Easter.
Just like at Christmas, the family comes together at Easter.
The result: Lots of traffic jams on the roads as many people travel across Germany to celebrate the holidays with their loved ones.
However, if you plan cleverly, you can avoid holiday traffic on the motorways.
Even if traffic overall has increased significantly.
And it really picks up speed at the weekend.
The Easter holidays begin in eleven federal states and some neighboring states.
“Schools are closing in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Berlin, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.
“Hamburg, Bremen and Lower Saxony have been on vacation for a week,” emphasizes the

Eleven federal states start the Easter holidays: ADAC expects a weekend full of traffic jams
The automobile club predicts a significant increase in travel traffic for the weekend of March 22nd to 24th.
The Auto Club Europa
(ACE) also expresses similar expectations
, describing the coming weekend as the first “stress test” for the holiday season.

According to the ADAC
, the highest risk of traffic jams is
on Friday, March 22nd, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., on Saturday, March 23rd, and Sunday, March 24th, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The
ACE,
on the other hand, assumes that traffic on Sunday will be “significantly more relaxed”.
However, when the weather is good, the lower road network could be burdened by more day trippers.
According to the ADAC, particularly busy traffic can be expected on the following motorways:
A1
Hamburg – Bremen – Dortmund – Cologne

Cologne Ring
A2
Oberhausen – Dortmund – Hanover

ADAC expects traffic jams to peak on Maundy Thursday
“Experience shows that many people still stay at home on the weekend before Easter, so the overall traffic jam situation will be cheaper this weekend than at Easter itself,” emphasizes the
ADAC
.
Over the Easter period (March 28th to April 1st), the risk of traffic jams on German motorways is high in all directions.

According to the automobile club, things get particularly bad on Maundy Thursday.
In 2019 it was one of the five busiest days of the year.
“Good Friday, March 29th, and Holy Saturday, March 30th are also unlikely to be free of traffic jams,” writes the
ADAC
.
A lot of traffic jams can also be expected on April 1st and the following days due to the long weekend.
The least traffic jams are expected on Easter Sunday, March 31st.
Anyone who finds themselves stuck in traffic on the highway needs patience.
Constantly changing lanes won't get you to your destination any faster.
