\n
On Wednesday, May 28, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, a temporary truck traffic ban will be in effect in Austria on one of the main routes from Germany to Italy via the Brenner Pass. The restriction is based on \u00a7 42 (3a) of the Austrian Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) and applies in particular to the A13 Brenner Autobahn.<\/div>\n<\/h1>\n

According to this regulation, on May 28 between 7:00 and 22:00, trucks and vehicle combinations with a maximum permissible gross weight exceeding 7.5 tonnes are prohibited from driving. The same applies to trucks with trailers if the total weight also exceeds 7.5 tonnes.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nThe ban is directional and applies only to southbound traffic towards Italy, if the destination of the journey includes the section of the A13 between the N\u00f6\u00dflach and Brenner Nord interchanges, which is the final stretch before the national border.<\/p>\n

\u274c The ban applies to the following motorways:
\n\u25fe A12 Inntal Autobahn,
\n\u25fe A13 Brenner Autobahn,
\n\u25fe A14 Rheintal\/Walgau Autobahn,
\nprovided that the destination includes the section of the A13 from N\u00f6\u00dflach to Brenner Nord leading to the Italian border.<\/p>\n

In practice, this means the restriction covers all trucks meeting the weight criteria that are traveling from Austria to Italy via the Brenner Pass.<\/p>\n

The ban does not apply to:
\n\u25fe traffic in the opposite direction (from Italy to Austria),
\n\u25fe journeys that do not include the restricted final section of the A13.<\/p>\n

This restriction is in force on selected days of the year, including May 28, due to anticipated high traffic volumes and the need to reduce the number of heavy goods vehicles on heavily used sections of the Austrian motorway network.<\/p>\n

Exemptions from the ban<\/h3>\n

The following journeys are exempt from the ban:<\/p>\n

Trips carried out exclusively for:
\n\u25fe the transport of livestock, postal shipments, newspapers, drinks to tourist areas, deliveries to fuel stations, restaurants or events,
\n\u25fe repairs to refrigeration systems, towing services, road assistance, disaster relief, medical care,
\n\u25fe vehicles of road maintenance companies or contracted vehicles, road traffic or railway construction,
\n\u25fe vehicles of public security services, fire brigades, waste collection, waste disposal, sewage treatment operations,
\n\u25fe regular public transport services, amusement rides, or transport for lighting and sound technicians traveling to and from work locations, journeys under \u00a7 42 (3a) StVO, as well as transports by trucks or articulated vehicles of Austrian or foreign armed forces present in Austria under the Federal Law Gazette I No. 57\/2001, or aid transports by recognized relief organizations.<\/p>\n

Transports carried out exclusively to or from civil airports (\u00a7 64 of the Aviation Act) or military airfields used for civil aviation under \u00a7 62 (3) of the Aviation Act.<\/p>\n

Combined rail-road or water-road freight transport: from the sender to the nearest technically suitable rail loading terminal or from the nearest suitable unloading terminal to the recipient, and return to the next loading location, provided that a fully completed document is carried, proving that the vehicle or its superstructure (e.g. swap body or container) has been or will be transported by rail.
\nThe same applies analogously to combined water-road transport.<\/p>\n
