# Court Challenges A2 Motorway Speed Limit

October 25, 2026 at 06:30 PM

> The Lower Austrian Regional Administrative Court seeks to repeal an 80 km/h speed limit on the A2 motorway due to lack of justification.

The **Lower Austrian Regional Administrative Court** has applied to the **Constitutional Court** to repeal the speed limit ordinance on the **A2 South Motorway** near **Wiener Neudorf**. The legal challenge follows a fine issued to a driver traveling 90 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

Ordered in 2024 by Minister **Leonore Gewessler** for noise protection, the 80 km/h zone is longer than the section deemed necessary by technical assessments. Officials used existing electronic traffic systems as a transitional solution to extend the restricted area.

The court argues there is no sufficient technical justification for the extension, seeking to repeal the entire ordinance. The driver's complaint procedure remains suspended while the Constitutional Court reviews the legality of the current speed regulations.
