Driving Tips

  • You need a vignette (motorway sticker) before you enter any Austrian motorway. Buy it at border gas stations or online.
  • The general speed limits are 50 km/h (31 mph) in towns, 100 km/h (62 mph) on rural roads and 130 km/h (81 mph) on motorways unless signs show otherwise.
  • Vehicles over 3.5 tons must use a GO-Box unit instead of the vignette to pay tolls electronically.
  • Winter tires are required from 1 November to 15 April when roads have snow or ice. Carry snow chains if you plan Alpine trips.
  • The blood-alcohol limit is 0.05%. Police perform roadside breath tests.
  • Vienna has many tram tracks. Cross them at a shallow angle and watch for trams that have priority.
  • Most central districts are short-stay "Blue Zones" (Monday–Friday 09:00–22:00). Street parking over 2 hours is not allowed and overnight stays are fined.
