Heavy Traffic Expected Across Europe Due to Ascension Day Holiday
Thursday, May 14th, will mark the beginning of significantly increased traffic levels across several European countries due to the observance of Ascension Day. The public holiday is being celebrated in Croatia, Austria, most of Germany, Switzerland, and Poland, leading to heightened travel demand. Specifically, traffic is anticipated to increase in the morning hours as travelers from Austria and Italy journey to Croatia.
Motorists utilizing the AVP are advised to plan their travel accordingly, departing early to avoid congestion. Drivers are urged to monitor current traffic conditions and minimize travel during peak hours where possible. Further heavy traffic is predicted for Sunday, May 17th, particularly in the afternoon.
This surge is expected as tourists return to Austria and Italy from Croatia. Congestion is also anticipated on several key routes. The Kranjska Gora area, the Styrian and Podravska motorways, are expected to experience significant delays.
Authorities recommend that travelers allow for extra travel time and remain informed about evolving traffic conditions throughout the day. The increased traffic is a notable concern for the day’s travel plans.
