What it is Filled

The public road network of Austria, comprising federal motorways and expressways (Autobahnen and Schnellstrassen) operated by the state-owned ASFINAG, provincial roads (Landesstrassen) and municipal roads; light vehicles need a vignette on most motorways and expressways, and heavy vehicles pay distance-based tolls.

Why it exists Filled

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Most former federal B roads passed to the provinces in April 2002; some sections became parts of A or S routes.
  • Vehicles up to 3.5 t use the vignette, except on designated section-toll stretches (Streckenmaut) and exempt sections; above 3.5 t the GO distance toll applies.
  • The 130 km/h motorway limit applies to motorcycles and vehicles up to 3.5 t without trailers; other classes and signed limits differ.
