Transport chaos in Vienna: block handling ensures heated debates!

Wien, Österreich - Vienna faces a traffic jam crisis that strains the nerves of the commuters! The aim of the city government's triple coalition has promised to relieve the traffic, but the concept of possible block handling at the Walserberg border crossing opens up new controversy. As ORF Salzburg reports, this could lead to massive backlogs in Bavaria, which raises legal questions: is such a regulation even compatible with EU law?

The transit roads in Salzburg are overloaded, and the new government program provides for measures to cope with this challenge. The traffic officer Stefan Schnöll (ÖVP) believes in a successful dialogue with the authorities to establish a regulation system that affects not only Austrian traffic, but also the travel traffic of German vacationers. The plan is not to tighten the traffic jams, but to reduce the pace and thereby enable more fluent traffic. "We do not want to cause traffic jams, but only reduce the pace", which is optimistic about the legal hurdles. Despite the commitment and the good intentions, the situation in Bavaria and beyond could encounter considerable resistance, which requires an agreement with ASFINAG and the future Minister of Transport. The negotiations mentioned by Schnöll are therefore of crucial importance to minimize chaos during the main travel times and to create a legally secure framework.
