Closures on the A36 and A39: Drivers have to replan!

Drivers beware! In the coming days, road users in Braunschweig will have to prepare for some restrictions. According to a press release from Autobahn GmbH, closures have been announced on the A36 and A39 motorways, which will have a direct impact on traffic. On Thursday, June 26th, the exit at the Salzgitter-Watenstedt junction on the A39 towards Kassel will be closed from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. In addition, the slip road at the Wolfsburg-West junction on the A39 in the direction of Salzwedel will not be usable between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. One day later, on Friday, June 27th, the slip road at the Flöthe junction to the A36 towards Braunschweig will be closed.

The background to these measures is repair work that is necessary to repair damage after accidents. Motorists are asked to consider alternative junctions to the bypass and prepare for any delays. Unfortunately, such traffic disruptions have not become uncommon in recent years. Current information on the traffic situation is available via an interactive dashboard on the Autobahn GmbH website. This provides an overview of traffic jams and construction sites on German motorways.

Current traffic situation

The dashboard not only shows the current traffic situations, but also makes it possible to keep an eye on the longest traffic jams and the number of current construction sites. This allows drivers to plan better and prepare for upcoming journeys. The constant monitoring of the traffic situation by the motorway traffic centers ensures that we can react quickly to unforeseeable disruptions. Pre-arranged action plans can be put into action immediately to keep the disruption to road users as low as possible.

In addition, a real-time traffic jam map is provided on *staumelder-karte.de*. This is particularly practical for getting current traffic jam information at a glance. The data source for this map is Google, which ensures high topicality and mobility. Monitoring there shows that traffic jams are often caused by tailgating and abrupt braking, also known as the accordion effect. It becomes particularly dangerous during the holiday season, when school holidays overlap in different federal states and traffic increases.

Tips for stress-free driving

Unfortunately, traffic jams not only impact travel time, but can also cause drivers to become stressed and aggressive. To avoid stress in traffic jams, a few tips are helpful: drive calmly, don't let yourself drift, listen to music or collect positive impressions. As a rule, Mondays and Fridays are the busiest days, with particularly critical times between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. and in the afternoon between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. If you check the traffic jam and traffic reports before you start your journey, you can largely avoid inconveniences.

Autobahn GmbH, the highway system of the future, and the traffic centers work tirelessly to ensure a smooth flow of traffic. So stay up to date and hit the road well prepared!
