The highways in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia are expected to be a little busier at the start of the vacations this Saturday. A slight increase in traffic is already expected on Friday, according to Autobahn GmbH. The first weekend in July, however, should be noticeably busier on the highways.
According to Autobahn GmbH, the routes to the south (A7, A9) and to the North Sea and Baltic Sea (A7, A24) will be particularly affected by travel traffic. The federally owned company expects the first major wave of travelers on the weekend of July 5 to 7, when other federal states such as Hesse, Lower Saxony and Rhineland-Palatinate also start their summer vacations. The busiest day is expected to be Saturday, July 5.
