ROAD SAFETY
IS THE TOP PRIORITY
The primary objective
of the ASFINAG traffic
safety program 2020:
Continue to significantly
reduce the number of
fatalities and injuries.
Accident figures are reducing greatly year after year.
This shows that ASFINAG’s investments are working.
Making transport safer and more free-flowing is
ASFINAG’s top priority. Measures include the construction of a second tunnel tube; the modernisation
of existing tunnel facilities; safety in construction areas for road users and workers; and increasing the
availability of road-traffic control check points for
heavy vehicles.

ADJUST YOUR SPEED
Bear in mind your braking distance, between recognising a hazard and your vehicle coming to a halt.
Calculated stopping distances only apply when
brakes and shock absorbers are in good order and
when tyres are at the correct pressure.
In case of poor weather (rain, fog, snow, high winds,
etc.) you must adjust your speed appropriately for the
weather conditions.

FOG, HAIL, RAIN AND SNOW
FOG
• Reduce speed and turn on low beam.
• With 50 metres visibility, drive at maximum of
50 km/h.
• Increase the distance to the vehicle in front.
• Use rear fog light if appropriate: If you are blinded
by the rear fog lights of the car in front, do not turn
on your own.
FOG ROAD MARKINGS
HELP TO ASSESS VISIBILITY
Fog road markings are white semi-circles painted on
the right side of the road at intervals of 33 metres.
They help you to assess visibility better in fog. In the
event of poor visibility, if only two of these markings
will be visible, a maximum speed of 60 km/h is recommended for safety reasons. If visibility is even worse,
and only one point is visible, speed should be reduced
to a maximum of 40 km/h.
FOG INFO ON TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEMS
Electronic traffic control system displays (TCS) warn
of fog on Austrian motorways and expressways.
HAIL
• Drive slowly and increase your distance from the car
in front.
• Stopping under bridges or inside tunnels is not permitted; this is only justified in extremely exceptional
situations (where there is danger of serious collision). The weather conditions at the other end of the
tunnel may be quite different.
ASFINAG
ROAD SAFETY
RAIN
• Use your headlights. In heavy rain, the rear fog light
can also be used.
• Reduce your speed.
• In extremely heavy rain:
Stop at the next possible rest area or parking area.
• If there is risk of aquaplaning:
Reduce your speed and hold the steering wheel
with both hands. Disengage the clutch and, even in
an automatic, release the accelerator. Steer in the
desired direction and brake only where necessary –
for example, to avoid an obstacle.
Adapt your driving style according to the particular
conditions!
TOLL
ON THE ROAD
SNOW
• Prepare your vehicle for winter in good time.
• From 1 November to 15 April, buses and vehicles
over 3.5 tons must be fitted with winter tires. This
applies to all cars in the event of winter driving conditions. Cars and vehicles up to 3.5 tons may also
use summer tyres with snow chains. Chains must
be fitted on at least two drive wheels.
• Reduce your speed.
• Increase your distance to the vehicle in front.
• Do not overtake snow ploughs or gritters: The road
ahead of snow ploughs and ASFINAG gritters is not
yet gritted.
• Refer to ASFINAG’s traffic information services, and
keep up to date with the latest weather and road conditions on your route with the ASFINAG app “Unterwegs”, or at www.asfinag.at and maps.asfinag.at.

NEVER RISK
THE MICRO-SLEEP
Many of the fatal accidents on Austria’s motorways
and expressways are due to fatigue.
Studies show that someone only getting four hours of
sleep at night reacts as if he had 0.5 mg/ml of alcohol
in the blood. Missing a whole night’s sleep makes that
the equivalent of 0.8 mg/ml.
NOT recommended:
• Coffee or other
caffeinated beverages
• Energy drinks
• Turning music up louder
SOMEWHERE TO REST
In order to avoid any chance of having a microsleep, there are a total of 89 service stations, 36 new
ASFINAG rest areas and about 130 parking areas
along the Austrian motorway and expressway network
where you can take a relaxing break.
ASFINAG TIPS
TO AVOID A MICRO-SLEEP
• Only get into your vehicle when you are well-rested.
• Driving at night: Between 2 am and 5 am, the body
is usually in deep sleep and therefore this is a lowpoint in performance.
• Watch out for signs of fatigue: burning eyes,
clenched fingers on the steering wheel, driving too
close to the car in front.
• Take regular breaks on long journeys.
• You should take your frist break after a maximum
of two hours.
• Moving around and getting fresh air dispel fatigue
and monotony.
• Put in a sleep break.
• Let your passenger share the driving.
Change drivers regularly on long journeys.
ASFINAG
ROAD SAFETY
TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
• Allow more time when working out the length of
your journey. Plan to take a break every two hours
to move around in the fresh air.
• Many of the 89 service stations not only offer children’s menus, but also large children’s play areas
where the kids can let off some steam for a while.
• The 36 ASFINAG rest areas are also good for exercise, play and fun.
• Give them some distractions. Play eye-spy games
and quizzes, make up new, funny names with your
children, using the first letters of the number plates.
• In summer, make sure there is shade in the car. Car
sun shades on the back windows help to keep the
temperature down.
• Children prone to motion sickness should not read
while driving. Instead, put an audiobook or a story in
the CD player.

SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SAFETY SEATS
SAVE LIVES
For tips on the proper use
of child safety seats and
seat belts or to purchase
a product, please visit
www.oeamtc.at.
THE RIGHT SEAT
FOR EVERY AGE AND HEIGHT
• Children up to 14 years and under 1.50 m require
a vehicle restraining device appropriate for their
weight and height that is equipped with a suitable
safety belt.
• Children under 14 years, but over 1.50 m must use a
standard seat belt.
An impact at 50 km/h corresponds to a fall from the
third floor. Even at 15 km/h, a collision can be fatal for
an unsecured child.

WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT
OF BREAKDOWN, ACCIDENT OR FIRE
• Turn on your hazard warning lights.
• Try to reach a breakdown lay-by or a parking area.
• Before leaving the car, put on your safety vest. The
same applies to your fellow passengers.
• Ensure that all persons leave the danger area as
quickly as possible.
• Locate the nearest emergency telephone and report
the breakdown.
• If you report the breakdown by mobile phone, first
find out which road you are on and at what kilometre
(and/or which motorway entrance or exit).
• From the hard shoulder, signal with your hands to
oncoming drivers to slow down.
• Make an emergency call (ambulance: 144).
• If safe to do so, recover injured people and perform
first aid.
• Do not put yourself in danger to help others.
ADDITIONAL NOTE, IF IN A TUNNEL:
• Unlock the bonnet; fires often occur later.
• If your vehicle smokes: If possible, stop the car on
the hard shoulder, in the breakdown lay-by or on the
right-hand kerb, to make it easier for the emergency
services to reach you.
• Use the emergency call point (telephone or “SOS” or
“fire” switch); this automatically detects the location
of the emergency call. Avoid using a mobile phone
if possible, as this will not automatically detect your
location.

• Emergency call points can be found every 125-250 m.
• The removal of a fire extinguisher automatically triggers an alarm in the tunnel control centre.
• Try to extinguish the fire. If this is unsuccessful, remove yourself immediately from the danger area.
• If the smoke becomes thick, leave the tunnel immediately via the emergency escape route and follow
the instructions of the tunnel staff.
IN THE EVENT OF TUNNEL CONGESTION:
• Put on hazard warning lights; switch off engine.
• Close windows; turn off air conditioning;
do not smoke.
• On no account should you turn your vehicle around.
• In the event of thick smoke in the tunnel: Vehicle
leave immediately; leave keys in ignition; do not lock
the vehicle. Move away from the danger zone as
quickly as possible.

EMERGENCY CORRIDOR DURING TRAFFIC JAM!
From 1 January 2012, it is mandatory to create an
emergency corridor when traffic jam occurs on Austria’s motorways and expressways and on roads with
a central reservation. This allows emergency services
to reach the scene of an accident quicker, increasing
the chance of survival of severely injured people. The
emergency lane saves lives!
HOW THE EMERGENCY CORRIDOR WORKS
All road users on motorways and expressways are
obliged to form an emergency corridor when congestion or traffic jams occur.
On dual carriageways, road users on the left should
position their vehicle parallel to the flow of traffic on
the far left side of the road, and all other road users
should position their vehicle parallel to the flow of traffic on the far right side of the road, including onto the
hard shoulder. The same rule applies to roads with
three or multi-lane motorways: all vehicles in the far
left lane move as far as possible to the left-hand road
side. All other lanes go as far as possible to the righthand road side. This creates the “emergency corridor”,
which is solely for the use of emergency vehicles, road
services vehicles and breakdown recovery vehicles.
CAUTION: The emergency lane is mandatory during
ALL congestion – not just in the event of an accident.
The emergency lane must therefore also be formed
during traffic jams.

KEEP RIGHT
Even where motorways and expressways have two,
three or four lanes – all traffic must drive on the far
right, according to the regulations of the Austrian Road
Traffic Act (StVO), section 7 paragraph 1. In practice,
this means that on rural roads, motorways, and expressways – also known as urban motorways – the far

the adjacent lanes is only permitted in heavier traffic.
Stay to the right! This will increase the fluidity of traffic, ensuring greater safety on the motorways and expressways.

TOLLS ENSURE
DEVELOPMENT AND GOOD OPERATION
ASFINAG is almost 100 % funded by toll revenue
and it receives no financial assistance from the state
budget. All proceeds from the sale of toll stickers, GOBox and special tolls are reinvested exclusively in the
construction, operation and safety of Austria’s motorways and expressways.
Toll stickers are required for all vehicles up to 3.5 tons
maximum gross weight (GVW), namely cars, motorbikes and light motor homes. All vehicles over 3.5 tons
also pay tolls in order to use motorways and expressways. This is collected using the GO-Box, which must
be carried by all vehicles. The GO-Box is available
from numerous marked points of sale.
A special toll will also be collected for some sections
of road. This is due to the very high construction costs
for special constructions such as tunnels (Tauern
Tunnel, Gleinalm Tunnel). The special tolls fund these
elevated costs.

January of the following year.
PLEASE NOTE
• 10-day toll stickers and 2-month toll stickers may
only be punched by the distributing agent.
• Please check that the date punched on the toll sticker is correct at the time of purchase.
• The day on which the toll sticker is purchased does
not necessarily have to correspond to the starting
date of the journey. Toll stickers can also be purchased in advance on request. What is important is
that the toll sticker is punched on the actual starting
date of the journey.
• Toll stickers that have not been punched (10-day

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT THE KORRIDORVIGNETTE
• Vehicles with a valid annual, 2-month or 10-day toll
sticker do NOT require an additional corridor toll
sticker.
• The Korridorvignette should be placed inside the vehicle. In multi-track vehicles (e.g. cars) the Korridorvignette should be positioned behind the windscreen
so it is easily visible for inspection from outside.
• The Corridor toll sticker entitles the user to use the
section of road as much as he wants within the
24-hour validity period, for a cost of 2 euros per direction of travel. A return Korridorvignette that can
be used for both directions of travel costs 4 euros.
POINTS OF SALE
The corridor toll sticker is available at each end of the
corridor from machines that you access directly from
your vehicle. The machines accept cash (exact amount
must be inserted) and also credit and fuel cards.
• Border Crossing Hörbranz (former customs office)
• Motorway operation and maintenance facility premises in Hohenems
• The corridor toll sticker is also available from various

AFFIXING THE TOLL STICKER
• The toll sticker must be intact and affixed without
any additional aid to the inside of the windscreen
so that it can easily be seen and inspected from the
outside. (It is not admissible to attach the toll sticker
behind a strip of tinted dark glass).
• For motorcycles, the toll sticker must be affixed to
a clean part of the bike that is not easily removed
(e.g. fork leg or metal support on the front wheel).
Affixing the toll sticker to a portable part of the motorcycle (e.g. top case or side pocket) is not allowed.
• Remove your toll sticker as soon as it expires. Once
removed, the toll sticker becomes invalid due to its
inbuilt security features!
Car toll stickers
IMPORTANT:
• Vehicles with test-drive or transfer number plates
may carry a properly punched 2-month toll sticker.
Annual and 10-day toll stickers must be affixed in all
cases.

REMOVING EXPIRED TOLL STICKERS
Lift the sticker at one corner and peel off with a glass
or sticker scraper. Moisten any adhesive residue, leave
for a moment and simply remove using water. There
should be a maximum of two Austrian toll stickers on
the windscreen at any one time.

If the toll is not properly paid, an on-the-spot substitute toll will immediately be charged on inspection by
the ASFINAG toll enforcement officers or by the executive authority. If an error is detected by an automatic toll sticker check, the vehicle owner will receive
a request for payment by post. Is the prompt to pay
the substitute toll or not within the time allowed, will
be returned indicating, thus initiating an administrative
penalty procedure. If the request for payment of the
substitute toll is not met, or not met within the timeframe, a charge will be filed to initiate administrative
penal proceedings.

GO-BOX FOR VEHICLES
OVER 3.5 TONS GROSS WEIGHT
CONVENIENT TOLL PAYMENT
for lorries, buses and heavy motor homes. The electronic toll system makes it possible to calculate toll
rates without having to stop, so it does not impede the
flow of traffic in any way.
The system consists of two components: the toll portals and the “GO-Box”, which must be kept in the vehicle. From inside the vehicle, the GO-Box ensures the
correct toll transaction.
GO-Boxes are primarily distributed from over 180
GO outlets in Austria and the bordering countries.
In line with making tolls greener, from January 2010,
vehicles over 3.5 tons with lower emissions pay a lower toll rate.

MONITORING YOUR SPEED
SAFETY WITH RADAR UNITS
AND SECTION CONTROL
Excessive speed is the cause of serious accidents
time and time again. To improve road safety ASFINAG
supports the police with the construction of radar and
section control units.
Unlike radar units, section control monitors average
speed travelled over a longer distance.
These systems have proved suitable on Austrian motorways. For example, accidents in the Vienna Kaisermühlen Tunnel have reduced by 50 percent since
the start of monitoring in 2003. ASFINAG has four
stationary and two mobile units with a varying operational area.
STATIONARY UNITS
• A 22 Donauufer Autobahn: Kaisermühlen Tunnel
• A 2 Süd Autobahn: Krumbach – Grimmenstein
(Direction Vienna)
• A 2 Süd Autobahn: Ehrentalerberg Tunnel
