Traffic forecasts and congestion development
Traffic in North Rhine-Westphalia is notoriously busy. Since 2024, 79,601 accidents have been registered by the police, with an alarming number of 485 road deaths, according to current statistics from Statistics NRW show. This highlights the need for regular traffic controls and remedial measures to improve safety on the roads.
On October 15th, drivers should particularly avoid the A1 near Cologne as a right lane will be closed and the road will be narrowed to two lanes. This could worsen the already existing traffic jam. In addition, traffic jams had already been reported the day before on the A555 between Wesseling and the Köln-Süd junction as well as on several other motorway sections.
