A93 Backs Up 25 Kilometers During Tyrol’s Truck Metering

Authorities have scheduled additional blockabfertigung days through December to manage heavy traffic on the A12.

Overview

  • Rosenheim police reported a roughly 25‑kilometer line of trucks between Kiefersfelden and the Inntal interchange on Monday morning as entries into Austria were throttled at Kufstein.
  • Tyrol began metering at 5:00, capped crossings at up to 300 trucks per hour, reached the longest queue by 8:00, and ended the control at 9:30, with conditions easing in the early afternoon.
  • The capacity control applies to heavy goods vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, concentrating them on the motorway and contributing to delays for holiday traffic.
  • Accidents and breakdowns on the A93 added to disruptions, and police noted several truck drivers ignoring the overtaking ban.
  • Land Tirol has published further blockabfertigung dates from mid‑September through December, with officials planning a total of 36 metered days in 2025.
