Since a restriction on heavy goods transit was introduced in a part of the province of Salzburg, the police started to check the implementation of the ban. AWHelp24's International Service calls on drivers to be careful! In the district of Lungau, a transit restriction was introduced for trucks with a maximum permissible weight of 7.5 tonnes. This measure enabled the district to reduce the number of trucks on its roads. Hundreds of transit trucks passed through the communities every day. This way, truckers tried to avoid paying tolls. These restrictions do not apply to heavy goods vehicles that start and end their journey in the districts of Lungau, Murau and Murtal in Steiermark. The Austrian police has launched extensive raids to investigate violations of the detention measures. The information department of the international AWHelp24 service urges international drivers to strictly obey all rules of transport, not to violate working and rest time laws, not to tamper with the tachograph and to learn about all local restrictions in advance. Neglecting this can result in heavy fines. If you need advice, help to contest a fine, want to recover your property from a parking lot, or simply had some misunderstandings with the road services in Germany, Austria, Poland, Romania and Lithuania - please contact our hotline operators.
