Local Nuances and Special Situations
- Vienna Ring Road: A23 (Südosttangente) is one of the busiest motorways; vignette required
- Brenner Corridor: Heavy goods vehicle restrictions apply on A13 on certain weekends in summer
- Arlberg Alternative: Arlberg Pass road (B197) is free but closed in winter and much slower
- Tauern Tunnel: Section toll covers the tunnel portion; surrounding sections need only the vignette
- Grossglockner: Private toll road — does not require a vignette; has its own separate fee
- Border crossings: Petrol stations at major crossings sell vignettes; some have ASFINAG service points
- Night driving: Some mountain sections have speed restrictions or closures at night
- Winter conditions: Winter tyres mandatory November 1 – April 15 when conditions require
