Challenges in Munich traffic

Munich attracts numerous commuters; around two thirds of the over 350 million daily commuters use cars. According to the Mercer study from 2017, the city ranks first in Germany for the time that drivers spend in traffic jams. Almost every second traffic jam is caused by construction sites, such as the current one on Prinzregentenstrasse, or accidents. These form, among other things, on the most common commuter routes, including Munich-Stuttgart and Munich-Nuremberg, but also on well-known traffic jam routes such as the Middle Ring and the A9 towards Munich. stau.info provides a wealth of information and forecasts on the current situation.

The main reasons for the often long waiting times are the high volume of traffic and the holiday season, when motorways and federal highways are particularly busy. Good planning and checking the traffic situation in good time can work wonders. If you want to use your time in traffic jams sensibly, conversations, games or audio books are an interesting distraction.

During these times, the traffic authorities particularly recommend paying attention to current reports. Traffic radio and online reports are a helpful source of information for reacting in a timely manner and planning your own route optimally.

The anticipation of negative traffic reports is not diminished by the circumstances of the construction site on Prinzregentenstrasse. Nevertheless, every Munich resident should know that these measures ultimately serve to maintain and improve the infrastructure. Only through continuous work can the quality of life in our beautiful city be maintained at a high level.
