Air hundred boom: Styria abolishes speed limits-what now?
A drastic increase in speed violations on the Styrian motorways shows in the figures of the IG-L Ordinance: over 20,000 punishments caused an average of 60 a day. The speed limits that have been active for a long time have recently been tightened as a result of increasing nitrogen oxide values. The focus of the criticism comes from environmental doctors such as Hans Peter Hutter, who clearly describes the health risks through higher speeds. The abolition of these limits is considered to be in terms of health, despite the reduced exhaust gas loads, such as reported.
Different penalties and controversial measures
in Vienna is a remarkable difference in speed violations: While driving at 61 km/h in the city only costs 55 euros, the punishment for the same speed in an IG-L area is 150 euros. Environmental friend Werner D. expressed his lack of understanding of these different punishments and experienced himself that his punishment was reduced from originally 220 euros to 100 euros. This shows that environmental protection has a higher weighting than sole traffic safety, such as "https://www.oeastc.at/Miensteitk.
Another example illustrates the strict measures: Norbert H. was pulled out of circulation on the southern motorway at 161 km/h and received two criminal orders-one for the exceeding of the IG-L limit and the other for the general speed limit. However, the legal situation could lead to an inconsistency here, because double punishment for a single traffic offense contradicts the judicature of the European Court of Human Rights.
