The Asfinag ] will start from mid-July on an experimental basis, the temporary release of the Pannenstreifens in case of overload on a short section of the East Highway (A4). The goal is that motorists spend less time in traffic jams, according to the Minister of Transport Norbert Hofer (FPÖ) at a press conference Wednesday in Vienna. The ÖAMTC reacted cautiously and warned that it was "not a panacea for traffic jams".
The current route is concretely located on a "typical two-lane highway in a metropolitan area". The 3.8 kilometers on the A4 between exits Simmeringer Haide and the knot Schwechat heading to Hungary will be temporarily released in case of overload or during rush hour . The ÖAMTC regards this as an "interesting test case", but warned against "too high expectations because implementation would not be possible or meaningful in many places in Austria". "Tire belts contribute significantly to road safety and should not be permanently sacrificed to the flow of traffic. A release of the Pannenstreifens can only be a temporary step, "says the expert ÖAMTC Nikolaus Authried
The press conference on additional construction projects and the success of the concept in the Netherlands and in Germany, where this system has been practiced since the 1990s. According to Hofer, the opening of an additional lane in case of congestion, according to Hofer, goes back to his initiative and will be replaced by mid-June at National Council with the votes of ÖVP, FPÖ and List mushroom made possible the modification of the highway code. The badessment should take about half a year, as the spokesman for Asfinag Christoph Pollinger.
In addition, the two-way temporary clearance strip on the I nntalautobahn (A12) in the Innsbruck West section The Zirl Ost junction and the Westautobahn (A1) in the Wallersee junction area at the Salzburg Nord junction in the planning. According to Pollinger, the EIA badessment procedures are still ongoing here, and 2019 should begin with construction. The necessary modifications, such as emergency bays, must be combined with the renovation, so that the breaches near Salzburg and Innsbruck are pbadable by 2021/2022.
The 29th amendment of the STVO, which will come into force in a few days, will bring four new signs. They indicate with white arrows on a blue background a road strip approved for driving. However, a failure band released for driving was mainly identifiable by lane signaling, explained the ÖAMTC. "If you see a green arrow on the punching tape, it's free, you see a red X, it's locked and if necessary, leave immediately," said Authried.
