Roads
Autobahns are marked 'A', some are pan-European 'E' roads. You can only drive on them with a
Vignette
(mo-
torway tax).
Bundesstrassen
or 'B' roads are major roads, while
Landstrassen
(L) are places to enjoy the ride rather
than get quickly from one place to another.
Seasonal closures
Some minor passes are blocked by snow from November to May. Carrying snow chains in winter is
highly recommended and is compulsory in some areas.
All-weather tyres
Compulsory from 1 November to 15 April.
Navigation systems
These work well in Austria, but use your eyes and don't rely 100% on them.
