This guide covers the entire Austrian road network, with particular depth on the A1 (Westautobahn), A2 (Südautobahn), A9 (Pyhrnautobahn), A10 (Tauernautobahn), A12 (Inntalautobahn), and A13 (Brennerautobahn), as well as major scenic routes and alpine passes.
- Vienna's Gürtel ring road has complex lane discipline — follow overhead variable message signs carefully.
- The Großglockner Hochalpenstraße charges a separate toll and is one of Europe's most scenic drives.
- Salzburg's city centre has a low-emission zone; check your vehicle's compliance before entering.
- Innsbruck's Olympic tunnel (A13) has a section toll separate from the general vignette.
