Additional traffic bans for lorries in Austria. The first one starts on March 30
In addition to the normal calendar of bans scheduled in 2018, concerning holidays and night driving bans, the Austrian government has introduced additional bans that will only apply to selected transit roads.
The affected motorways are A12 Inntalautobahn and A13 Brennerautobahn, but there are also some bans on five national roads. Periods when the bans are in effect depend on the direction of travel, since they are connected with bans in the neighbouring countries, i.e. Italy and Germany. The bans do not apply to vehicles that have obtained exemptions for travelling in both countries concerned.
