Major traffic jams are forecasted over the weekend in North Rhine-Westphalia as schools close for summer. Increased travel is expected as families head south or to the Dutch coast. The ADAC indicates that traffic congestion will largely stem from ongoing motorway construction, with 1,194 sites identified. Key trouble spots will include main routes to mountains, coasts, and lakes. Significant traffic peaks are anticipated on Friday afternoons, Saturday mornings, and Sunday afternoons. A truck travel ban will be implemented on Saturdays on major motorways to ease congestion.
Most traffic jams are expected to form around motorway construction sites, with the ADAC currently counting 1,194 construction sites on Germany's motorways.

A summer travel ban for trucks over 7.5 tonnes will be in operation from 7am to 8pm on Saturday on Germany's most important motorways.
