Traffic chaos in Rosenheim: A8 closures announced from Friday!

In a remarkable step, District Administrator Lederer announced the closure of ten exits on the A8 and A93 motorways. This measure comes into force from Friday and will apply until Sunday and on public holidays. The background is extreme traffic conditions, which caused significant traffic jams in the region around Rosenheim in the spring and made local traffic significantly more difficult. In order to defuse the local traffic situation, only drivers with destinations within the region are allowed to use the closed exits. The decision follows a similar regulation in the Austrian state of Tyrol, which has already successfully implemented measures against through traffic. Deutschlandfunk reports on the background and the expected relief for the residents.

What is the current situation on the streets? According to reports from Stau.info, there are currently numerous traffic reports on the A8. For example, between Pforzheim-South and Pforzheim-East there is slow traffic, while the traffic situation between Pforzheim-West and Pforzheim-South has returned to normal. Bulky objects such as tire parts were also found on the road on the route from Stuttgart to Munich, encouraging drivers to be careful.

Traffic situation at a glance

The traffic reports show that the A8 has several construction sites and accident sites today. The current developments are as follows:

• Stuttgart → Karlsruhe: 2 km stockender Verkehr zwischen Pforzheim-Süd und Pforzheim-Ost.
• Stuttgart → München: Gefahr durch Gegenstände auf der Fahrbahn zwischen Kreuz Ulm/Elchingen und Leipheim.
• Karlsruhe → Stuttgart: Verkehr hat sich zwischen Pforzheim-West und Pforzheim-Süd normalisiert.
• Salzburg → München: Gefahr besteht nicht mehr zwischen Siegsdorf-West und Bergen.
• Neunkirchen → Karlsruhe: Baustelle beseitigt zwischen Contwig und Walshausen.

In the region around Rosenheim, the announced closure of motorway exits can lead to a noticeable improvement in the traffic situation. The residents of the region hope for less through traffic and more safety on the streets. It remains to be seen whether the measure will actually have the desired effect. However, the district administrator's initiative shows a good hand in tackling the traffic problem and making life easier for residents.

So it remains exciting to see how the situation will develop this weekend. In any case, local politicians and residents are looking forward to the feedback on the new regulations and are hoping for a more relaxed traffic situation in the coming days.
