Stau-hell in Salzburg: Travelers should stay better on Saturday!

Salzburg, Österreich - Summer in Salzburg is in front of its climax, and the highways in the country are crowded. As Salzburg24.at reports, the ÖAMTC expects particularly high traffic volume next Saturday, which leads mainly on the A1 and A10 should. Many German travelers who are currently on vacation are also a popular goal of Austrian highways, which also fuels the Situation.

Transport expert Alfred Obermayr recommends travelers if possible not to drive on Saturday. If you want to start your trip, you should start early in the morning or afternoon to avoid the rush hour. The main dauchies are expected in the area of the West Autobahn (A1) around Salzburg as well as on the Tauern Autobahn (A10) at the tolls of St. Michael and the Oswaldibert tunnel near Villach.

traffic jams and challenges

The website of the ADAC reports of a total of 14 federal states that are on vacation, and this increases the rush to the streets. In addition to travelers, the most common traffic jams also include day trippers and returnees from vacation. The peak times for traffic jams were recorded on Friday afternoon, on Saturdays in the morning and Sunday afternoon.

It also becomes particularly exciting on the A1 and A10, where the Bavarian summer vacation begins from August 1st. This could further tighten the traffic situation. For traveling to Italy, Slovenia or Croatia, departure -restricting measures apply in several municipalities by September 7 to prevent “Staufluchtlingen”.

support on site

To make vehicle traffic as fluid as possible, jam consultant Florian Thaler will be deployed on Saturday on the A10 between Walserberg and St. Michael im Lungau. Thaler has the task of fixing smaller breakdowns on site to avoid traffic jams. In addition, it is important to form the rescue alley in extreme traffic situations in order to facilitate access by emergency vehicles. If you do not stick to the rules, you have to expect up to 320 euros.

The highways are full of construction sites, a total of around 1250 that remain in operation during the summer trip. This also contributes to the susceptibility to traffic jams, and travelers should prepare for nightly closures and diversions. The A1, A2 and A10 are particularly stressed, whereby the Bosruck and Gleinalmt tunnel tolls are also considered critical points on the A9.

Traffic throughout the region is to be observed carefully, since traffic jams and waiting times are also to be expected in neighboring countries. Travelers have to adapt to controlled transitions at the German borders and should find out more about current traffic information using online services.
