Law alarm in Austria: Large events ensure traffic chaos!

Law alarm in Austria: Large events ensure traffic chaos!

An upcoming traffic jam weekend puts road users in Austria to the test. Due to several major events, including the start of the holiday in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) and the Netherlands as well as the Austria cycling tour, considerable traffic disruptions are expected. The first traffic jams can be expected on Friday afternoon, with the worst traffic on Saturday from morning to the early evening, as vienna.at reports.

The Austria cycling tour, which takes place between July 9 and 13, leads to roadblocks in and around Steyr, Katschberg, Gaisberg, Innsbruck and Feldkirch. This event will not only attract athletes, but also lead to a high traffic load. In addition, a concert by Robbie Williams in the Ernst Happel Stadium in Vienna is expected for July 12, in which around 50,000 fans حضور will also be found, which will also lead to traffic disruptions on the surrounding motorways.

more information and traffic tendencies

according to [Nachrichten.at] (https://www.nachrichten.at/panorama/chronik/baustellen- event-werden-das--unangsten-stauwochende-im-Sommer ;art58,4063845) The travel overall is relatively low overall, but from the middle of July a congestion development is expected, especially south. Traffic peaks will occur on weekends such as July 11th to 13th and August 1st to 3, during the start of the holiday in Germany, and August 15 for the holiday "Ferragosto" in Italy.

Especially main traffic streets such as Fernpassstraße and the Brenner motorway are affected by overload. In Salzburg and Carinthia in particular, long delays are expected on the Tauern and Karawanken motorway. In the urban areas such as Vienna, there can be traffic jams due to construction sites on the Southeast Tangent and Ostutobahn.

economic importance of tourism

The increasing number of travelers due to upcoming holidays and major events support the knowledge from the surveys on travel behavior in Austria. These surveys carried out by the [Statistics Austria] (https://www.statistics.at/statistiken/tourismus-und-verkehr/tourismus/reise behavior) collect important data such as travel purpose, choice of transport, as well as the tourist expenditure structure. Such information is crucial for tourism policy decisions in Austria and the evaluation of the economic importance of tourism.
