Environmental zone
Do I need stickers or registrations?
To enter the environmental zone, each vehicle concerned requires a valid Austrian environmental sticker (Umwelt-Pickerl). Otherwise, a fine of up to 2180 euros is to be expected.
How do I recognize the low emission zone?
The low emission zones are marked with two types of sticker. On the one hand, there is the mostly digital sign for speed restriction, which is usually seen on motorways. On the other hand, there is the sign for immission control - air. This shows a black circle similar to the prohibition sign with the remark IG-L. Who exactly is allowed to enter or not, is not visible from the entry sign.
In our Green-Zones App we have a detailed map of each low emission zone. So you can easily recognize the borders and avoid penalties.
Are there other low emission zones in Austria?
Austria has a total of 7 different environmental zones. These are divided into normal environmental zones and noise protection zones: Außerfern, Burgenland, Lower Austria, Upper Austria, Styria, Tyrol, Vienna.
In our Green Zones App we have gathered together all the low emission zones in Europe and presented them clearly.
