Nice weather, school holidays and a long weekend - ideal conditions for many traffic jams. Therefore, the ADAC expects the first congestion peak of the year on the Easter weekend. With the exception of Hamburg, all federal states now have school holidays.
The longest traffic jams await the automobile club for Thursday afternoon and the afternoon of Easter Monday. Also on Good Friday is according to ADAC especially in the morning on the streets still busy. On Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday, however, the streets should remain largely empty. The traffic jam potential is greatest on these highways:
- Greater Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich
- A 1 Hamburg - Bremen - Dortmund - Cologne
- A 1 / A 3 / A 4 Cologne Ring
- A 2 Oberhausen - Dortmund - Hannover
- A 3 Oberhausen - Frankfurt - Würzburg - Nuremberg - Passau
- A 4 Kirchheimer Dreieck - Erfurt - Dresden
- A 5 Hattenbacher Dreieck - Frankfurt - Karlsruhe - Basel
- A 6 Kaiserslautern - Mannheim - Heilbronn - Nuremberg
- A 7 Hamburg - Flensburg
- A 7 Hamburg - Hanover - Würzburg - Ulm - Füssen / Reutte
- A 8 Karlsruhe - Stuttgart - Munich - Salzburg
- A 9 Berlin - Nuremberg - Munich
- A 10 Berliner Ring
- A 61 Mönchengladbach - Koblenz - Ludwigshafen
- A 81 Stuttgart - singing
- A 93 Inntaldreieck - Kufstein
- A 95 / B 2 Munich - Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Long traffic jams are also threatening in neighboring Alpine countries, especially along the Brenner, Tauern and Gotthard routes. On the way home, holidaymakers face another obstacle. The Bavarian border crossings Suben (A 3), Walserberg (A 8) and Kiefersfelden (A 93) are likely to be congested due to border controls.
