Today Cologne, the city of millions, also has one of the top traffic infrastructures in Europe. 10 main branches of the European motorway network meet in Cologne.
Although the closed motorway ring circulating the city is exemplary, traffic jams are commonplace, not only during the rush hour or at the beginning of the main holidays. The A3, for example, the eastern section of the Cologne circular motorway experiences the highest ever traffic density in Germany.
A traffic guide system has been set up as a pilot scheme which displays information about the current traffic situation in the city on the motorways surrounding Cologne and on the link roads.
Parallel to this, a parking guide system simplifies travel in the inner city of Cologne for motorway drivers. 29 multistorey car parks are linked to the system.
The position and space-situation of car parks are displayed on large, partly electronically controlled road-report signs.
