Despite ADAC warnings, traffic jams on the East German highways remain manageable. The roads were less congested than predicted.

The feared traffic jam chaos on the East German highways on the last vacation weekend in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt has failed to materialize, according to ADAC. "There are more traffic jams than last weekend, but we don't need to talk about chaos," a spokeswoman told the German Press Agency. Many holidaymakers had probably already returned earlier.

The automobile club had previously warned of longer traffic jams in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, among other places, due to vacation return traffic. While the vacations are coming to an end in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony and school has already started again in Thuringia, many other federal states are still on vacation.

According to the report, traffic was most likely to come to a standstill on sections of the Autobahn 4 near Dresden and in the Leipzig/Halle and Magdeburg conurbations.
