Overview

  • Over the Aug. 15–17 holiday weekend police conducted 258 checks at eight A8 and two A93 exits, turning back 106 vehicles and sanctioning 79 drivers.
  • Authorities described the controls as primarily preventive, noting that most drivers complied once informed of the new restrictions.
  • The federal Autobahn authority and Rosenheim office have installed signage and electronic notices at the exits, and more warnings are set to roll out in coming weeks.
  • The bans target ten exits serving routes through villages such as Aschau, Bad Aibling and Frasdorf to protect local roads from diversion traffic.
  • Rosenheim officials will continue monitoring impacts and plan a formal review of the scheme’s effects in late September.
