Stau-chaos in Kiel: construction sites and accidents keep drivers up!

Kiel, Deutschland - The current traffic situation in Kiel and the surrounding area is strongly shaped by construction sites and numerous accidents on June 13, 2025. A report by KN Online shows that the situation is particularly tense on the A7, A20, A21, A210 and A215 motorways as well as on the federal roads B76, B205, B404 and B430. The ADAC also warns of frequent traffic jams on the A1 and A7 at peak times, especially during vacation.

Important traffic arteries such as the Theodor-Heuss-Ring in Kiel are not only for commuters, but also for other road users. The situation in Rendsburg is not much better - in front of the canal tunnel and on the A7 at the Rader Hochbrücke, there are also regular disabilities. Other critical points are the B203 between Rendsburg and Eckernförde, the Bordesholmer Dreieck on the A7 and the B206 in Bad Segeberg.

Current construction sites affect the flow of traffic

Another factor that contributes to the disturbance of the traffic situation are construction sites. Deutsche Bahn started the renewal of railway bridges on the Alten Lübeck Chaussee. Only one lane strip can be used here, the passage height was reduced to 3.60 meters. A traffic light system mutually regulates the traffic, and digital height controls should identify excessive trucks that could otherwise get difficulties in the construction site area. Unfortunately, this means that the entire traffic is briefly stopped in the event of a warning, which also ensures traffic jams reports the city of Kiel .

A special challenge on the streets in Kiel are the focus of the accident that concentrates in several places. These include the Waldwiesenkreuz and the intersections Kaistraße-Stresemannplatz, Ostring-Konrad-Adenauer-Damm and Westring-Gutenbergstrasse. The Theodor-Heuss-Ring in particular is often mentioned as a accident. Accidents also often occur on the highways, especially on the Bordesholm Dreieck and the A7 in the Segeberg district. These factors contribute to general congestion development and a frustrating driving experience.

price adjustments and traffic data

As far as the fuel prices are concerned, they are in Schleswig-Holstein in the average of Germany, but prices in the Segeberg district are above average. Environmental zones currently do not exist in this country, which makes the flow of traffic easier, even if this is not unproblematic in terms of air quality.

The traffic data for Kiel and the surrounding area come from TomTom and are based on GPS coordinates of millions of devices and street sensors. The data is updated every five minutes, which enables a rather precise overview of the traffic situation explains the traffic barometer .
