Flexible travel across Austria
Travelling by car offers great flexibility for exploring Austria. For people with mobility impairments, it is often the best or only option. Here are the key regulations:
In Austria, special rules apply to EU travellers with a parking permit. Stopping is allowed at no-stopping signs or yellow lines along the roadside. This also includes loading mobility aids such as wheelchairs.
Loading in pedestrian zones is permitted with a parking permit.
Short-term parking zones are free and can be used without a time limit by people with disabilities.
Parking in designated accessible spaces is allowed unless reserved by name or licence plate. The parking permit must be visibly placed behind the windscreen.
Toll exemptions or discounts (vignette) apply only to people with disabilities who are Austrian residents.
