Austria sections motorways and expressways

System

Exit numbers are derived from km values, e.g. exit 20 on the A5

On old signs the word 'EXIT' appears instead of the symbol.

km signs are blue and normally appear every 500 m (or 200 m in some federal states).

There is an orange sign every 5 km (visible from the air)

Ramps have small signs every 200 m and at start and end. The exit number appears on the signs (9 in this case) and can thus also be seen from the access road.

In Vorarlberg, the road number appears on the km signs:

A1 Wien - Salzburg

Increasing from 9.0 at Wien-Auhof to 301 at the border with Germany in Salzburg (A8)

Sometimes the road number appears on the integer km value signs.  

In exceptional cases 3 decimals appear on the signs.

A2 Wien - Villach - Italy

Sections:

1 Wien - Klagenfurt

Increasing from 0 at Knoten Vösendorf in Wien to 305.5 at exit Klagenfurt-Ost

On the A2 parking lots are sometimes indicated by their km value.

2 Klagenfurt bypass

Increasing from 314.3 at exit Klagenfurt-Ost to 305.5 at Knoten Krumpendorf west of Klagenfurt

Because the length of the motorway was not known when this section was built in the 1960s and 1970s, the km values do not match and there is a gap of about 10 km.

3 Klagenfurt - Italy

Increasing from 328 at Knoten Krumpendorf west of Klagenfurt to 380.8 at the border with Italy (A23)

4 Klagenfurt-West spur

Increasing from 0 at Klagenfurt-Wörthersee to 2.5 at Knoten Krumpendorf

This section used to be the A2 until the Klagenfurt bypass opened in 1996.

A3 Guntramsdorf - Wulkaprodersdorf

Sections:

1 Ramp 2 in Knoten Guntramsdorf

Increasing from 0 at the beginning of the exit ramp from the A2 to 0.94

Though there is no clear transition between the ramp off the A2 and the main carriageway, after 940 m there is a double km sign indicating the end of the ramp and the start of the main cariwagway. This may be the point where an off ramp coming from the south was originally planned to meet the existing ramp but no concrete such plan is known.

2 Guntramsdorf - Pottendorf

Increasing from 0.0 at Knoten Guntramsdorf to 17.35 at the border between Lower Austria and Burgenland

3 Pottendorf - Eisenstadt

Increasing from 25.9 at the border between Lower Austria and Burgenland to 37 at Knoten Eisenstadt (S31)

Originally the A3 was planned to start at the S1 in Wien. In Burgenland the km values are still based on this planning while Lower Austria uses the start point 0 at Knoten Guntramsdorf.

4 Eisenstadt - Wulkaprodersdorf

Increasing from 0 at Knoten Eisenstadt (S31) to 3.1 south of Wulkaprodersdorf

A4 Wien - Hungary

Sections:

1 Wien - Hungary

Increasing from 0 at Knoten Prater (A23) in Wien to 64.7 at the border with Hungary (M1)

A5 Eibesbrunn - Poysdorf

Exit 8

Ramp km sign at exit 3

The missing part between Schwechat and Aderklaa will probably never be built.

S2 Hirschstetten - Aderklaa

Increasing from 0 at Hirschstetten as continuation of the A23 to 7.0 at Aderklaa where the road continues as S1

The road was planned to continue all the way to the German border near Braunau. After these plans were cancelled, the road is now known as 'Rampe Ried-A8'. It used to be 2x2 but now only one lane is marked in each direction.

S10 Unterweitersdorf - Freistadt
