Traffic chaos in Olching: truck defect causes 3 km traffic jam on A99!
On one of the quieter nights in the Munich area, there were traffic delays today that could rob some commuters of their sleep. On August 25, 2025, between 2:01 a.m. and 6:01 a.m., drivers on the A99 in the direction of Munich-Allach had to expect significant restrictions. The reason for this: a defective truck caused a narrowing of the road that stretched an impressive three kilometers. The section between the Munich/Eschenried junction and the Munich-Allach junction was particularly affected, where the hard shoulder was closed and there was the possibility of congestion and increased traffic volumes. According to news.de, such incidents are not uncommon at night, but they could making it difficult to get to work in the morning.
In a state where road information is provided quickly and accurately, it is crucial to be aware of such disruptions. The BayernInfo system, operated by the Bavarian State Building Administration, offers a comprehensive database. Road users receive real-time data for 55,000 km of roads via the Internet portal bayerninfo.de and the BayernInfo Maps app. In order to be internationally positioned, these are also made available on the federal mobile library for navigation systems. Stmb.bayern.de points out that the police always provide current information in dangerous situations so that drivers are always up to date.
The advantages of the BayernInfo system
What makes the BayernInfo system so special? In addition to providing traffic information, the system operates more than 500 webcams on Bavarian motorways, providing live images of the most important traffic flows. Communication with local building authorities and districts also ensures that construction sites or road closures are reported in real time. Around 50 webcams at rest areas and mobile cameras in construction site areas complement this offering. This means no driver is left in the dark about what lies ahead.
But it's not just traffic disruptions that are taken into account. Current information on the occupancy of truck parking spaces on the A9, A3 and A93 motorways is also available. For car users, live data from parking garages in large cities is provided, while information on the equipment of filling stations and rest areas as well as parking fees can be found on the website.
The BayernInfo system shows how important it is to always be well informed in times of increasing traffic. For anyone who travels a lot, whether for work or for leisure, this data is not only useful, but could even save crucial time. Because with a good hand at route planning you are always ahead of the right route. This will keep the traffic flowing and Stockholm incidents like those seen on the A99 today will hopefully soon be a thing of the past.
