Individual traffic & Rules |
Individual traffic in
Vienna corresponds to a bustling European city. Hectic and tight
during peak hours, otherwise loosend up and quickly, but always
ordered and mostly disciplined.
In the city
a top speed of 50 km / h
applies on the
motorway 80 km / h,
unless any special
traffic sign
orders a speed restriction.
Environmental zones in Vienna there are
none.

In recent years,
Vienna was
covered with a dense
network of short-term parking, which
is not even clear
or easy
to understand for the Viennese population.
In most
Viennese districts
are limited parking zones,
and in some
not even single
roads are
partially limited parking
zones and then not
again.
In short-term parking zones, permits must be
completed and put inside the car at the front window. The permits
must be purchased in tobacco shops and are available for parking
times from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Since the maximum parking time
is thus limited
to 2 hours, which
is often not enough
especially for visits,
we recommend
vehicles (cars) turn off
in parking garages.
Parking of vehicles
in limited parking zones
without a valid parking
permit is currently
punished with € 36,-.
More information on Vienna's
short-term parking is
available at:

Information on the
short-term parking zones
in each district, fee
times of the day and
sources for purchase, see:

Take care by parking your car especially not to park hindering
traffic, among others also not to park the car at house corners when
the car stands above the corner of the building. In such cases your
car can be put away, what leads to significant costs and loss of
time.
Within the belt, and especially in the
city center (center) you will encounter
a confusing network of
one-way streets and
find parking space just
by luck. Here again,
we recommend (car
drivers) to go to a
central parking garage
and perform from there
your sightseeing on foot.
A
list of parking garages in Vienna you find at:

Basically,
in Austria the
legally allowed
maximum limit alcohol in the blood is less
than 0.5 per mille.
In certain cases (up to the age
of 20 years, driving
license test, training and
exercise, trips,
etc.), this limit is
reduced to 0.1
per mil or
less.
About 0.5 per
mille of alcohol
in the blood, it is
really expensive (€
300, - to €
3.700, -) and
about 0.8
parts per thousand driving
license will be revoked.
This should be especially
respected before visits in wine taverns!
Even when cycling, there is a
limit of less
than 0.8 per mille
alcohol content in the
blood and severe
penalties for violations
(from €
800, - to €
5.900, -).
