Complete closure of Glückaufstrasse: use of a crane causes chaos!
On October 14, 2025, Glückaufstrasse between Edelsfelder Strasse and Glückaufstrasse 7 will be completely closed. This became necessary due to the use of a mobile crane, which will lead to significant traffic restrictions. The city asks drivers to understand this measure, which could inevitably lead to delays in the area. To ensure that all road users are well informed, it is advisable to plan alternative routes.
ADAC Maps offers a helpful platform for route planning and current traffic information. This displays the real-time traffic flow as well as short-term disruptions and enables a precise traffic forecast for the selected departure day and time. Particularly important is information about current and planned construction sites as well as potential dangerous situations such as slippery snow, aquaplaning or storm warnings, which are important for planning a safe journey. This information is not only available for Germany, but also for most neighboring holiday countries. ADAC Maps is therefore a useful tool for adjusting to expected traffic conditions.
Traffic forecasts for the future
Another aspect of traffic planning in Germany is the long-term traffic forecast, which was developed by the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). These forecasts are part of a multi-part building block system for analyzing traffic development. In particular, the road traffic forecast up to 2040 provides detailed insights into traffic volumes on federal motorways and federal highways. BMVI states that the average daily mileage on extra-urban federal highways will increase by 11.7% to 1,117.9 million vehicle kilometers by 2040. Truck traffic in particular is expected to increase by 42.2%, while car traffic is expected to increase by 6.6%.
The forecasts also show that there will be a high traffic load of more than 80,000 vehicles per day in metropolitan areas. This underlines the need for measures to optimize and control traffic, such as those currently being implemented as part of road traffic forecasting. Such strategies are essential to accommodate growing traffic volumes in urban areas while ensuring safety for all road users.
