Vacation traffic
The holiday traffic is a purpose of the trip , the trips with transportation to the destination of recreational reasons is concerned, which must be five days between round trip at least.
General
In addition to holiday traffic, travel purposes also include training traffic ( school trips , school trips ), commuter traffic , business and official travel , shopping traffic and leisure traffic . They all have the place of origin and / or destination of the place of work , training facility , shopping location , school , vacation spot, apartment or some other location .
Components
As a rule, the starting point of holiday traffic is the home, but the holiday can also be started from the place of work . A short vacation of less than five days is not vacation traffic, but leisure traffic. For a large number of journeys there is no parallelism of outward and return journeys, for example in "triangular journeys" from home to work, from there to shopping and only then back to home. This also applies to holiday travel if an employee first drives from his home to the place of work in order to spend the last working day there before his holiday and immediately starts the holiday trip after working hours . However, this astray is not one of the journeys to work insured as a commuting accident .
Traffic planning
The various purposes of the trip are the object of knowledge in traffic planning , because depending on the purpose of the trip, the willingness to accept longer queues ( traffic jams ) or diversions , for example , is different and has to be considered by the traffic planning. Traffic planning takes into account the avoidance of motorway construction sites during the high season whenever possible .
