The Austrian federal government plans to unify and increase traffic fines, particularly for speeding, starting in 2027. The measures are expected to generate additional revenue of around 80 million euros and improve road safety. The VCÖ supports the stricter penalties but calls for additional measures such as income-dependent fines and increased controls.
