>How very excellent!

You can drive into town on a Saturday morning and you’re the first car at the lights.

You can find parking – this is the underground car park below the theatre at 9:30.

Even better if you’re commuting to work.
And even more better if holidays in the neighbouring state of Hesse overlap with those in Rhineland-Palatinate.
(Holidays are staggered by state to avoid a sucking noise and the resultant emptying of the country. Like in New Zealand.)

It’s like driving to work on a Sunday. Every day.

Dire, though, if you want to head south on the autobahn on a weekend when a major state’s holiday starts.

Traffic reports on the radio pretty much ignore any congestion of less that 10 km and I’ve heard “100km” frequently.

It’s hurts just to think about it.
