Traffic Congestion Forecast for Denmark over the Easter Holiday Period
It's almost time for the Easter break in Denmark! Starting this Friday, many schools and some workplaces will be taking a pause until the end of the Easter weekend. But when's the best time to hit the road? 🚗
Here's a Quick Guide 📅🔎
- If you're planning an Easter holiday this weekend, traffic might be heavy from 2pm onwards on Friday and potentially lasting into the evening, according to forecasts from the Danish Roads Directorate (Vejdirektoratet).
- If waiting until next week, you'll have the first Easter public holiday on Thursday, April 17th. Taking a five-day break from April 17th-21st is feasible, as these days are public holidays in Denmark.
- Some may set off as early as Friday, April 11th, given that school holidays have started today and some workplaces may mirror those dates.
- Parents might choose to use annual leave from Monday to Wednesday next week to match their children's school holidays.
🌟 Pro Tip: Choose off-peak travel times when possible! That's particularly important on major travel days (e.g., Good Friday and Easter Monday).
⚠️ Caution: Be aware of ongoing roadworks on the E45 motorway in Jutland, which currently mean there are long sections where the speed limit is reduced to 80 km/h, especially between Vejle and Randers. Motorway lanes may operate at reduced width on these sections.
Stay tuned for updates and safe travels! Remember, it's always a good idea to check traffic updates before leaving. Enjoy the Easter break! 🐣🎉
