Slippery roads can cause problems for holiday traffic.

Slippery roads due to snow can make holiday travel more difficult.

The recent snowfall has made the journey home for many commuters yesterday and today’s commute more challenging.

But for those heading out on holiday this afternoon, the weather can also play a significant role—both for drivers and those traveling through airports.

Roads leading to and from airports nationwide may also be impacted by winter weather, so it’s wise to arrive at the airport well in advance.

The same applies to those traveling by ferry from places like Rødby.

Southern Zealand, Lolland, and Falster have been particularly affected by icy and snow-covered roads, so leaving earlier than planned may be a good idea.

**Most traffic expected between 2–6 PM**

Winter holidays can lead to extra traffic on the roads between 2 and 6 PM, according to the Danish Road Directorate’s forecast for holiday traffic.

Many Danes take their winter break in weeks 7 and 8, meaning more cars will be on the move, heading toward snow-covered slopes in neighboring countries or further south across the border.

**Spread over several days**

The Danish Road Directorate notes in its forecast that winter holidays span two weeks, and since they often involve multiple travel methods and departure times, major traffic disruptions are not expected during these weeks.

DR Traffic has spoken with Swedish colleagues to assess whether roadworks or other delays might affect Danes once they cross the border.

According to Swedish Radio P4 Traffic, aside from an ongoing roadwork on the E22 near Lund, there should be no major issues on Swedish roads in southern Sweden.
