Bielefeld (dpa / lnw) - The start of rush hour traffic went smoothly in large parts of North Rhine-Westphalia early Monday morning.
"There were hardly any accidents, everyone was very disciplined," said a spokesman for the Münster police.
The highways in the district are largely passable after the snow chaos at the weekend.
At least one lane is free on most routes.
The police in Bielefeld spoke of a calm start to the day.
"But it starts again because it is snowing again and people will soon be increasingly on their way to work," said a spokesman.
On the freeways in Westphalia there is a driving ban for trucks over 7.5 tons until noon on Monday.
According to Autobahn Westfalen, the reasons for this are persistent snowfall and icy roads.
The Bielefeld police reported overcrowded parking spaces for truck drivers on the motorways.
