Federal roads: the Autobahn GmbH reports motorways only. Items on a federal road are on that road's page.
How an item is placed: in the Land of the nearest Gemeinde centre (within 20 km); near a Land border that can be the neighbouring Land. Only the Autobahn GmbH's reports are counted. A jam or roadworks whose stretch reaches into another Land is counted once in each Land it touches.
An item whose stretch reaches into another Land is counted once in each Land it touches; 4 of them here.
