The schedule of HGV traffic restrictions in Tirol for the second half of 2021

The schedule prepared by the Austrian authorities includes 16 days when the number of trucks crossing the border at the Kufstein Nord from Germany will be limited.

Altogether, there are 35 days with scheduled restrictions in 2021 when a maximum of 300 trucks per hour will be able to cross the border .
The prime minister of Tyrol, Günther Platter, has emphasized that the schedule for the second half of the year was established on the basis of experiences from previous years, taking into account days when there is a high risk of a traffic collapse. The limiting of the number of incoming trucks prevents dangerous situations at transport hubs and ensures the safety of traffic and supplies. Therefore, the Austrian authorities intend to apply this solution.
In 2018, there were 27 days of HGV traffic restrictions, and in 2019 – 35 days. In 2020, due to a decline in morning traffic peaks as a result of the pandemic, the measure was only applied on 24 of the 35 scheduled days.
As government spokesman Ingrid Felipe explained, the main purpose of the schedule is to identify days with heavy morning peaks at the Kufstein crossing which, when combined with the overall heavy traffic on the A12 in the Inn valley or on the A13 via the Brenner Pass, cause huge disruptions. Depending on the traffic situation at a given time, the scheduled measure can be cancelled. In 2020, the average daily length of the restriction was four hours. Of course, the heavy traffic volume in the Brenner Corridor will continue to be closely monitored.
The analysis of restrictions imposed in the past years has shown that the accuracy of the forecasted critical days is very high. On the whole, using past empirical values and taking into account traffic projections, the planners did not make any abrupt changes or introduced any additional days in the schedule.

July 5 – Monday
