 GreenBudgetNews 11 - Austria shifts away from environmentally road traffic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
What is more, against the trend throughout the EU for stricter speed restrictions on motorways, Austrian Transport Minister Hubert Gorbach (FPÖ) has revealed concrete plans for increasing the speed limit on Austrian motorways from 130 to 160 kmh.
These two moves seem very out of character for a country in which successive governments have repeatedly pushed aggressive measures to limit transport pollution and speed limits on their Alpine motorways and tunnels.
While economic reasoning appears to be the underlying motivation for the abandonment of motorway tolls, Gorbach’s plans to increase speed limits seem little more than a cheap vote-winning scam geared towards the country’s impending elections in 2006.
