Topic: Driving behavior & training
Road safety is teamwork and only works if everyone does their bit!Initial situation
Increasing passenger and freight traffic, more individual mobility and new trends such as automated driving will make traffic even more complex in the coming years.
The majority of accidents on highways and expressways are caused by the following factors:
- Distraction / carelessness
- Too little distance
- Excessively high speeds
- Fatigue
- Failure to comply with traffic rules and regulations (e.g. driving on the right)
- Overestimating one's own driving ability
- Abandoning responsibility for one's own actions to the road and vehicle
- Overstraining road users
Goal levels
ASFINAG invests every second euro in road safety.
However, road safety only works if everyone plays their part.
ASFINAG is committed to social behavior and fair cooperation on Austria's freeways and expressways. We want to sustainably optimize the driving behavior of road users and thus promote safe driving behavior.
- Raising awareness and campaigns on road safety issues
- Creating acceptance for laws and regulations
- Promote responsible behavior
- Supporting the content of driver training
Expectations until 2030
Through the awareness-raising and
target group-specific activities of ASFINAG

driving behavior on freeways and expressways
should prevail.
