Overview

• Tirol has institutionalized LKW blockabfertigung at the Kufstein/Kiefersfelden border on the Inntalautobahn A12.
• Throughput is limited to about 250–300 trucks per hour and applies to vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, with off‑autobahn detours for these trucks prohibited in Austria.
• Queues regularly form on Germany’s A93 and can extend to the A8, delaying freight and leisure travelers.
• Published 2025 dates include Sept 15, 22, 29; Oct 6; Nov 5, 12, 19, 26; and Dec 9.
• ACE and ADAC forecast continued bottlenecks on alpine routes and around Munich as Oktoberfest starts, while tightened German border checks can still cause waits at Kiefersfelden.
