ViaFrei creates no account and no profile and does not store your place. Your browser remembers a place on this device only when you choose it in the place bar – a place or an address, “Use my location” or “All of Germany” – together with your recent places; while this page uses a remembered place, a line under the place bar says so, and “Forget place” deletes it at once. The page asks for your location only when you choose “Use my location”; if you have already allowed it permanently in your browser, this page reads it without asking and stores nothing. Your location is rounded on your device to an area of about 500 m, and our server derives the street or place name for it from that area; it keeps that name in memory for at most an hour per area, without any link to you, and does not store it. Only right after that click, and only if your browser gives your location to within 150 m, the page sends the exact position once to our server to check whether you are at a station, a fuel station, a charging site or a motorway rest area; it is neither stored nor logged there. It keeps the name of a station, place or address chosen here in memory for at most an hour in the same way. Your IP address is used only in memory, for the approximate location, and is not stored for it. This applies on every page with the place bar, including the station index. On the station index, the place found this way is used only to show the nearest stations and stops. More in the privacy policy
At Thale on the A36, nothing is reported at the moment (as of 12:57).
Traffic light for the A36
Green — Nothing reported by our sources (as of 12:57) — no guarantee of a clear road.
For your choice on the A36.
How the traffic light is set
Red for a full closure of the carriageway, a wrong-way driver, objects, people or animals on the road, an accident with a closure, a weather warning of level 3–4 or a jam with a delay of 30 minutes or more.
Yellow for a shorter jam, roadworks narrowing the road, another traffic warning, a weather warning of level 1–2, slippery roads in the road-weather forecast, a closed entry or exit — or when a source is missing or out of date.
Green only when none of this is reported and the Autobahn GmbH reports, the Deutscher Wetterdienst warnings and, for every state in the area, a police source of its own are current. Green is no guarantee of a clear road.
With your position, everything within the chosen radius along the motorway that lies ahead of you in the chosen direction counts; what lies behind you or on the other carriageway does not. More than 2.0 km away from the motorway, it is counted from the nearest junction.
Read: the Autobahn GmbH (closures, jams, traffic warnings, roadworks), police and state traffic messages (for the states we hold a source of their own for), the bridge states in Schleswig-Holstein and the Deutscher Wetterdienst (warnings, road weather).
No colour from: detours, border crossings, lorry networks, parking and charging. A state with no current police source of its own keeps the light at yellow.
