Temel Değişiklikler
EU GSR2 Phase 3: Advanced Driver Distraction Warning
Yürürlük 7 Temmuz 2026
Basic ADAS required
Since July 2024, new cars required ISA, AEB, lane-keeping assistance, and drowsiness detection
Camera-based distraction monitoring mandatory
All new cars must have Advanced Driver Distraction Warning (ADDW) with in-cabin camera detecting phone use, eating, or looking away from the road
Resmi Kaynak: EU General Safety Regulation 2
Eğitmen İpucu
“GSR2 Phase 3 adds camera-based distraction monitoring from July 2026 for all new cars. Combined with ISA (which already warns when you exceed the speed limit) and existing AEB and lane-keeping systems, new vehicles sold in Austria now have comprehensive driver monitoring.”
Environmental Zone Updates in Vienna and Graz
Yürürlük 1 Ocak 2026
IG-L emission restrictions
Immissionsschutzgesetz-Luft (IG-L) restrictions applied to older vehicles in some areas during high-pollution days
Permanent environmental zone restrictions
Vienna and Graz introduce permanent low-emission zones restricting Euro 0-3 diesel vehicles; transit traffic through Inntal corridor faces stricter emission checks
Resmi Kaynak: BMK Environmental Zones
Eğitmen İpucu
“Vienna and Graz are introducing permanent low-emission zones. Euro 0-3 diesel vehicles (generally pre-2006) will be restricted. If you're driving through Austria with an older diesel vehicle, check restrictions before entering city centers. The Inntal corridor on the A12/A13 also has stricter emission checks.”
Increased Speed Limit Violation Penalties
Yürürlük 1 Ocak 2026
Moderate speed fines
Speeding fines started at €20 for minor violations; €2,180 maximum for severe speeding
Higher fines and faster license action
Minimum fine for speeding over 20 km/h increased to €150; over 40 km/h triggers automatic 2-week license suspension; maximum fine raised to €5,000 for extreme speeding
Resmi Kaynak: BMI Verkehrsstrafen
Eğitmen İpucu
“Austria is getting much tougher on speeding. Going 20 km/h over now costs at least €150, and 40 km/h over means automatic license suspension for 2 weeks. The maximum fine has more than doubled to €5,000. In Austria, speed limits are strictly enforced with both fixed and mobile radar.”

Re: Digital Vignette System Updates
Eğitmen İpucu
“The digital vignette is now activable immediately - no more 18-day waiting period. A new 1-day option at €8.60 is perfect for short trips through Austria. Remember: all vehicles on Autobahn and Schnellstraße need a vignette. Without one, you face a €120 on-the-spot fine or up to €3,000.”

Re: Expanded Section Control (Average Speed) Cameras
Eğitmen İpucu
“Austria is expanding its section control (average speed measurement) network beyond tunnels onto open motorway sections. These systems measure your average speed over several kilometers. Maintain the speed limit consistently - braking at camera points is ineffective with average speed measurement.”
