Traffic jam chaos in Kiel: A7, A20 and B77 affected - How to avoid rush hour!

The current traffic situation in Kiel and the surrounding area will be challenging on October 26, 2025. Construction sites and accidents make for a tense driving experience. How [kn-online](https://www.kn-online.de/schleswig-holstein/verkehrslage-aktuell-in-kiel-stau-warnings-fuer-a7-a20-a21-a210-und-a215-am- 26-10-2025-6GBE46BSCZHS7NJPBJ7ZD6CEH4.html?mst_prev_page_id=GVFLPVOIMNJ2PPQC4A4TXERRYU&mst_prev_link_type=article&mst_prev_website=kn) reported, the main traffic arteries such as the A7, A20 and A21 are severely affected. The Theodor Heuss Ring in particular is a bottleneck, especially during rush hour. The cars there often get clogged, which puts commuters to the test.

Another hotspot for traffic jams is the Rendsburg region, where canal crossings often lead to gridlocked traffic. The A7 at the Rader Hochbrücke, the B77 and the A210 in the Rendsburg area are also considered to be prone to traffic jams. The B203 between Rendsburg and Eckernförde and the B206 in Bad Segeberg are other busy routes that are often stop-and-go.

Accidents and danger zones

The busy streets in Kiel are also often the focus of accident statistics. Accidents often occur in places such as the Waldwiesenkreuz, Kaistraße at Stresemannplatz and the Ostring at Konrad-Adenauer-Damm. The Theodor-Heuss-Ring remains a real hotspot for such incidents. The Bordesholmer triangle (A215/A7) as well as the B206 and B432 in Bad Segeberg are also known accident areas.

In addition, the ADAC offers useful information about the current traffic flow and disruptions on its ADAC Maps. This platform provides real-time data and helps drivers plan their routes and identify potential risks, such as construction sites or weather-related hazards.

General traffic situation in Germany

ZDF Drivers have had to expect an increase in traffic jams in recent years. The increased volume of traffic and numerous construction sites mean that commuters are stuck in traffic jams for an average of 43 hours a year.

• Stauzeiten 2024 summierten sich auf 448.000 Stunden – 21.000 Stunden mehr als 2023.
• Nordrhein-Westfalen verzeichnete 31,5% der Staukilometer in Deutschland.
• Der schlimmste Stautag 2024 war der 17. Mai, der Freitag vor Pfingsten.

Although Schleswig-Holstein does not have an “air key” in the form of environmental zones compared to other federal states, fuel prices in the Segeberg district are slightly higher than the German average. This means drivers are faced with the challenge of not only having to have a good hand in traffic jams, but also when refueling.

Overall, the traffic situation in Kiel and the surrounding area as well as throughout Germany remains tense, and drivers are well advised to keep themselves up to date on the current situation. If you want to move through the streets congestion-free in the future, you should plan your routes carefully and pay attention to the latest reports.
