In addition to the tragedy in Waldbärenburg, there are a variety of other sources of danger on the highways around Dresden. Traffic on the A4 in the direction of Chemnitz is particularly tense.

Caution is also advised on the A4 between Siebenlehn and the Nossen triangle: several lanes are closed here, which makes the traffic situation even worse, as shown Saxony Police reports.

Commuters should also pay particular attention on the B170. The section between the junction to Waldidylle and Waldbärenburg is currently closed due to the above-mentioned accident. Regional transport has to contend with significant restrictions here.
