NEW summer transit restrictions on Austria’s A10 in the state of Salzburg

The authorities of the federal state of Salzburg are introducing temporary entry restrictions from the A10 motorway (Tauernautobahn) to several local and national roads. The new rules will apply throughout the summer, from July 4 to September 7, 2025, and aim to reduce transit traffic through small towns in the region.

The entry bans apply to trucks and passenger vehicles that do not have a destination in Austria – i.e. transit traffic that often uses local detours to bypass congestion on main routes. The restriction applies to vehicles exiting the A10 or turning back into local and national road networks. It applies exclusively to transit traffic. Only destination traffic within Austria and cyclists are exempt (indicated by the sign “ausgenommen Zielverkehr Österreich,” possibly with the “A” country symbol).
