Speed control in Vienna: Driver speeds at 97 km/h in the 30 zone!
A driver caused a stir when he raced through a 30 speed zone in Vienna at an incredible 97 km/h. During a targeted check on Monday evening, around 8:30 p.m., this speeding traffic offender in the Favoriten district was recorded with a mobile radar vehicle. According to police spokeswoman Julia Schick, the Cosmo quoted, this is more than three times the permitted speed and could have serious consequences: the driver must expect a report and the revocation of his driving license. Such measures are intended to serve as a strong warning to all road users to take traffic rules seriously.
Parking situation in Vienna is getting worse
At the same time as this incident, the deadline for extending parking permits is expiring in Vienna. Around 50,000 parking stickers will expire at the end of February, prompting district authorities to ask citizens for a timely extension. Since March 1, 2022, a comprehensive short-term parking zone has been in effect throughout Vienna, which represents a major challenge for residents. Parking in public parking spaces costs 1.30 euros for half an hour, while the parking pass allows those who live in your district unlimited parking.
There are also special regulations for parking in less populated areas on the outskirts of the city, some of which provide for exceptions to the short-term parking zone. This is supplemented by special regulations for members of social services or small transporters. The Vienna.gv.at provides comprehensive information on the different parking zones and the permits required to optimize traffic organization and promote the use of public transport.
