Construction site in Ingolstadt: Thomasstrasse narrowed from September 4th!
From September 4, 2025, drivers in Ingolstadt will have to prepare for significant traffic disruptions. Due to construction work on a house connection, there will be a narrowing of the road on Thomastraße, which will last until September 12th. During this time, only one lane will be available alternately in both directions, which could of course result in increased traffic and temporary traffic jams. The measure affects the section between Heysestraße and Feldkirchener Straße in the Schlachthofviertel district (zip code 85055) and will entail restrictions daily from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m [news.de](https://www.news.de/auto/858877846/verkehrsmelde-ingolstadt-zur-verkehrsstoerung-wegen-baustelle-sperrung-einschraenkung-von-0 4-09-2025-to-12-09-2025-restrictions-in-traffic-congestion-risk-in-ingolstadt-zip-code-85055-north-east-schlachthofviertel-on-the-thomastrasse/1/) reported.
Road users are asked to pay attention to the additional traffic signs and signs and to adjust their speed if necessary. These measures are necessary to ensure the safety of both construction workers and road users. Road narrowings often occur due to road damage or construction sites and can significantly increase travel time, as bussgeld-info.de describes. This often leads to stress and inconvenience for drivers.
Danger of traffic jams and rules of conduct
Especially at times when road work is pending, traffic jams are almost inevitable. Traffic jam means that the flow of traffic slows down or even comes to a standstill. The most common causes for this are too many vehicles or bottlenecks, which are unavoidable due to construction sites. The traffic regulations also regulate that in such cases oncoming traffic has the right of way, which can lead to fines if ignored, as the website bussgeld-info.de explains.
When preparing for such a restriction, it is advisable to start early and consider alternative routes. Especially in large cities like Munich, which was named Germany's “traffic jam capital” in 2022, heavy traffic can lead to significant delays. The average time that every citizen in this country spends in traffic jams every year is around 50 hours, which is also reflected in everyday commutes. Wikipedia also highlights that excess capacity in our transport network can often affect the quality of traffic flow.
Vacancies or unused areas can further aggravate the traffic situation. Building constrictions and construction sites are therefore also economically relevant, as the economic damage caused by traffic jams is estimated at several billion euros. It is therefore important to exercise particular caution and adapt to the changing traffic conditions between September 4th and 12th, 2025.
