Frankfurt is a traffic hub for the German motorway (''[[Autobahn]]'') system. The [[Frankfurter Kreuz]] is an Autobahn interchange close to the airport, where the [[Bundesautobahn 3]] (A3), [[Cologne]] to [[Würzburg]], and the [[Bundesautobahn 5]] (A5), [[Basel]] to [[Hanover]], meet. With approximately 320,000 cars passing through it every day, it is Europe's most heavily used interchange. The [[Bundesautobahn 66]] (A66) connects Frankfurt with [[Wiesbaden]] in the west and [[Fulda]] in the east. The [[Bundesautobahn 661]] (A661) is mainly a commuter motorway that starts in the south (Egelsbach), runs through the eastern part and ends in the north ([[Oberursel]]). The [[Bundesautobahn 648]] (A648) is a very short motorway in the western part which primarily serves as a fast connection between the A 66 and the [[Frankfurt Trade Fair]]. The A5 in the west, the A3 in the south and the A661 in the northeast form a [[ring road]] around the inner city districts and define a [[Low-emission zone]] (''Umweltzone''; established in 2008), meaning that vehicles have to meet certain emission criteria to enter the zone.

The streets of central Frankfurt are usually congested with cars during [[rush hour]]. Some areas, especially around the shopping streets Zeil, Goethestraße and Freßgass, are pedestrian-only streets.
