Demo in Vienna: Toll stop causes mega traffic jams on Wednesday!

On Tuesday, September 9th, 2025, there were significant traffic disruptions in Vienna due to an announced demonstration. According to oeamtc.at, the protest action under the motto “Stop toll increase 2026” will take place on Wednesday, September 10th. The meeting point for the demonstrators is 3033 Pressbaum on the A1, with the approximately 60 truck participants scheduled to leave between 9:15 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.

The route of the demonstration will take the A1 into the city, followed by a variety of streets such as Wientalstrasse, Hietzinger Kai and Margaretengurtel, with the aim of reaching the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The end of the demonstration is scheduled for around 11:30 a.m.

Traffic disruptions and recommendations

Significant traffic measures are expected due to the demonstration. Temporary traffic closures and traffic diversions in the demonstration area and adjacent streets were ordered. The police operations manager will order traffic closures on site. Drivers should be prepared for traffic jams, particularly on congested routes such as the Vienna West Entrance and the Belt. It is recommended to use public transportation to get to your destination on time.

Current reports from staumelder-karte.at already record delays and traffic jams in Vienna. Among other things, there is traffic on the A23, between the Hansson curve and the Handelskai, with a delay of 12 minutes due to construction sites. Traffic jams with delays of several minutes can also be observed on the B221 and other streets in the city.

This event commemorates the victims of the Srebrenica genocide and is scheduled to begin at 4:30 p.m. The route runs through Mariahilfer Straße and the Ring, which is also likely to lead to significant traffic disruptions in the city center.

Drivers here are also advised to use public transport to avoid traffic jams in the city center and in Ottakring. The Outer Hernals Belt in particular could be affected if the demonstration for the Palestinian people takes place.
