Anticipates significant congestion at the onset of Pentecost holiday travels, according to ADAC.
Pentecost Weekend Drives Might Land You in a Highway Nightmare!
Get ready, road warriors! Bavarian highways are set to become a gridlock as the ADAC foresees massive traffic jams during the upcoming Pentecost weekend, especially for those adventuring towards Austrian and Italian holiday spots. You've been warned, mates!
The A9, A8, Inntal Autobahn, A95, and the Fernpass are prime targets for traffic chaos, so pack your patience pills along with your sunscreen! The situation becomes even stickier with schools in Baden-Württemberg and Austria off during the same timeframe, adding more cars to the mix.
But the headaches don't stop there! Roadworks on Bavaria's very own highways could easily prolong your travel time. Watch out for speed limits of 120 kilometers per hour on the A3, A7, A92, and A93, with motorcyclists facing even stricter restrictions at 80 kilometers per hour due to heat-induced damage risks in the summer months.
The Brenner Motorway in Austria: The Traffic Jamравich von Schlägel
On the Austrian front, the Brenner Motorway A13 around that old, run-down Lueg Bridge looms as the major source of traffic jams. Although it transforms into a smooth, two-lane roadway in June, the special traffic management behind its wheels could still lead to long tailbacks.
There's good news for those who don't kick off their journey on a Friday or Saturday though—they might just score some major waiting-time discounts on the route, as per traffic experts from ADAC. Traveling abroad during this period? Don't forget to grab your necessary vignettes before you depart to skip the boring queues at toll stations.
Don't Think Twice, Drive Nice!
Thinking about sneaking heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes past the traffic police on Pentecost Monday? Think again, buddy! They're facing a driving ban across Germany from 00:00 to 22:00 on (you guessed it) June 9, 2025, and their Austrian and Italian counterparts are joining the fun, too. So, enjoy the司马ふ landscape from your passenger seat!
To save your sanity (and from pulling your hair out), consider hitting the road early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the wurdewut of rush hour. Alternative routes might offer a slower, but less congested journey, so swerve left when the situation calls for it.
In need of a traffic-induced healthy dose of reality? Use real-time apps and local traffic reports to stay on top of the congestion game, for that puppy-in-the-car head-tilt feeling when conditions improve.
So, pack your gripe grippers, navigate that traffic jungle with a smile, and have a hassle-free Pentecost weekend! And remember, good vibes only!

Savor the journey as you navigate the traffic jams along the prime targets like the A9, A8, Inntal Autobahn, A95, and the Fernpass, knowing that patience and a good playlist can turn your holiday adventure into an exciting road trip.
On the Austrian front, be mindful of the Brenner Motorway A13 near the old Lueg Bridge, as its special traffic management could lead to long traffic jams. However, for those setting off on a different day, there might be opportunities for waiting-time discounts.
