Alcohol and drugs: chaos on the A10 after controls!

Wals-Siezenheim, Österreich - On January 15, 2025, the motorway police carried out numerous controls on the A10, the Tauern motorway, which led to several remarkable findings. A 36-year-old driver from the Kitzbüheler district was stopped and exposed several violations: he had no driver's license and an alcohol test resulted in an alarming value of 1.4 per thousand. The police officers prohibited him from continuing and initiating an advertisement. In addition, two other drivers were convicted during speed controls who were traveling at 151 and 152 km/h - clearly too fast, since only 100 km/h are allowed on this section.

In a further incident in the Wals-Siezenheim municipal area, a 44-year-old driver was stopped with recognizable impairments. A drug test also turned out to be positive, which led to the determination of the foster suitability by an official doctor. The Kosovare had to hand in his driver's license. Two drivers with excessive alcohol level were also on the road in the city of Salzburg: a 55-year-old showed 1.94 per thousand, while a 43-year-old was found with 1.48 per thousand. Both are displayed and had to hand in their licenses immediately.

traffic pollution from construction sites

In addition to the police controls, the poet traffic reported between Flachauwinkel and Zederhaus on the A10 also ensures delays of up to 3 minutes, such as stumMELDER-PART reported. This is due to ongoing construction sites that narrow the lanes on a lane and thus change traffic routing. Pilgrimage holidaymakers and locals who use the highway to connect between Salzburg and Villach have to adapt to further delays that are inevitable during the construction work. Despite all the measures, the A10 remains an important north-south connection through the Alps, especially for travelers towards Italy.
