Caution Ahead: Anticipate Traffic Mayhem Around the Corpus Christi Weekend
Get ready for a bumpy ride this Corpus Christi weekend! The roads are expected to be choke-full, especially on Saturday, as holiday returnees hit the routes leading north. On Sunday afternoon, you'll have the return of short holidaymakers to deal with. But fear not, Friday will remain relatively calm. Last year, the Wednesday before Corpus Christi was one of the ten busiest traffic days of the year.
Keep an eye out for traffic snarl-ups, particularly on major highways, around big urban areas, and routes leading to the North and Baltic Seas. Be aware that Corpus Christi is also a holiday in Austria and Switzerland, which may add to the traffic delays there. The ADAC warns of potential traffic jams, especially on well-trodden holiday routes.
If you're returning from Croatia, brace yourself for some traffic jams on the way into Germany via the A3, A8, and A93. Border crossings could take longer than usual.

Insights:
- Austria: The Austrian automobile club ÖAMTC anticipates a surge in traffic volume and lengthy traffic jams on the Corpus Christi long weekend, especially on key routes like the A10 Tauern Autobahn. Increased traffic flow raises the risk of road accidents during the holiday weekend[1][2]. Major cities like Vienna and Salzburg will likely experience traffic congestion as travelers move around Austria.
- Germany (Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg): Munich, being a significant metropolitan area in Bavaria, and regions in Baden-Württemberg will likely see increased traffic due to the Corpus Christi public holiday. Highways linking Munich and other cities in Baden-Württemberg may experience traffic jams as residents take advantage of the long weekend for travel[1][4].
- Switzerland: Festive events in cities like Fribourg and Zurich could cause localized increases in traffic congestion during Corpus Christi. While specific traffic advisories are not available, the holiday period will likely lead to higher traffic within and around Swiss cities[4].
Travelers should expect delays and adjust their plans to avoid peak travel times during the Corpus Christi long weekend[1][2][4]. Happy travels, and here's hoping the roads smooth out for you!

- During the Corpus Christi weekend, multiple policies may need to be employed to manage the anticipated congestion, such as traffic management policies, community policies, and employment policies to accommodate the increased number of travelers on the roads.
- Given the anticipated heavy traffic during Corpus Christi, employers in major cities and tourist areas may need a revised lifestyle policy that allows for flexible working hours or remote work options to help reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and ease traffic congestion.
