The holiday shift change caused some considerable delays in road traffic on Saturday. As the ÖAMTC reported Saturday afternoon, a time loss of an hour and a half had to be reckoned with entering the Salzburg Walserberg. The length of the traffic jam was about 20 kilometers. When leaving the country, the waiting time was about 15 minutes.
There were longer delays in Carinthia at the Karawanken Tunnel (A11) in both directions, on the Brenner Autobahn (A13) in Tyrol opposite the Schönberg toll booth in the south, and on sections across the Fernpass route (B179). On the Tauernautobahn (A10) in Salzburg, block movement was imposed in front of the Helbersberg tunnel in a northerly direction, and the traffic jam increased to a good 15 kilometers. It was also difficult in Styria on the Pyhrn Autobahn (A9) in the traffic area between St.Pankratz and Windischgarsten.
