Celle, Nienburg, Gelnhausen, Ostprignitz-Ruppin, Remscheid, and Dresden are grappling with a surge of traffic-related issues on March 21, 2025. Various new construction sites and road incidents are causing significant congestion across multiple routes, reported by the respective traffic monitors in these regions.
The CZ-Staumelder provides an overview of traffic routes in Celle, highlighting key bottlenecks. The data collection for this tool, sourced from TomTom, relies on GPS data from millions of devices, including roughly 80 million mobile devices and several million official road sensors. Currently, major traffic issues in Celle include the Bundesstraße 3 (B3) heading towards Hannover and Soltau, the Bundesstraße 214 (B214) towards Braunschweig and Schwarmstedt, the Bundesstraße 191 (B191) towards Uelzen, and construction work on the Wilhelm-Heinichen-Ring.
Meanwhile, the HARKE's traffic monitor in Nienburg also utilizes TomTom's extensive data sources to notify residents of periodic lags in traffic flow. In Nienburg, congestion is particularly notable on the A2, A37, A7, A27, and A1 highways, along with the Bundesstraßen including B6, B215, B214, B482, B62, B239, B51, B442, and B441. Regular updates every five minutes aim to keep the public informed of any new developments.
In Gelnhausen, the GNZ-Staumelder highlights significant traffic delay issues on major Autobahns like the A3, A45, and A66, complemented by bottlenecks on the B8, B43, B45, B276, B457, and B521. The traffic data for this region also refreshes at five-minute intervals, providing vital accurate information.
Moving to Ostprignitz-Ruppin, the MAZ-Staumelder also collaborates with TomTom for its traffic updates. The current congested areas include the A24, A19, and A14 highways, as well as the B5, B102, B103, B107, B122, B167, B189, and B195. The diligent attention to traffic data through numerous sensors allows residents to navigate congestion more effectively.
In a similar fashion, the RGA-Staumelder covering Remscheid, Wermelskirchen, Solingen, and Wuppertal indicates overwhelming traffic on the A1 and A46 highways. Additional pressure is being felt on the B51, B51n, B229, B237, B483, and several Landesstraßen, namely L74, L81, L101, and L418. Notably, the A1 recorded nearly 6500 hours of traffic jams this past year between Cologne and Dortmund, categorizing it among the most congested regions in North Rhine-Westphalia.
On the other hand, traffic happenings in Dresden, as reported by the SZ-Staumelder, also reveal significant issues on Autobahns A4, A13, A14, and A17, as well as Bundesstraßen B6, B97, B170, and B173. The service provides insights into the current travel situation and alerts travelers of impending backup.
Each region exemplifies a concerted effort to utilize technology for real-time traffic information, relying on data accuracy from sources like TomTom and personal devices, exemplifying the importance of vigilance on the roads.
In every area, authorities emphasize considerate driving practices, urging drivers to account for fellow road users, especially amid increased congestion.
