Snow chaos in Lower Austria: chain obligation for truck and limited view!

Lilienfeld, Österreich - Winter has a firm grip on Lower Austria! With up to ten centimeters of fresh snow, especially in the industrial district, drivers must now exercise the highest caution. This reported, among other things, the Noen website, which also pointed out that winter tires have existed since November 1st, but is now particularly relevant.

The road conditions are anything but inviting. In numerous regions, the lanes are snow -covered, while in other places mushy and salt wet conditions prevail. According to WN24, the clearing and litter inserts are in full swing, and driving ban on saddle vehicle vehicles applies on the B 21 via the Gscheid and the B 23 over the Lahnsattel. Vehicles from 3.5 tons on the B 20, B 21 and B 23 as well as on the L 5217 between Morigraben and Kirchberg to Lilienfeld are particularly affected by the chain obligation. For heavier trucks of 7.5 tons, the chain obligation even exists on the L 5226 between Plankenstein and Weißenbach.

visual impairments and fresh snow

regions such as Atzenbrugg, Haag and Lilienfeld are currently faced with floor fog, which reduces the view of between 30 and 100 meters. In this winter chaos it is also pointed out that the temperatures in the morning fluctuate between -3 degrees in Gloggnitz and +6 degrees in Gänserndorf, which further increases the winter conditions. The temperature relationships could make the already difficult road conditions even more complex, as WN24 reported.

Overall, it should be noted: winter is there and it demands special attention and preparations from all road users in order to get through the snow -covered roads safely. Stick to the current traffic regulations and be careful.
