Tyrolean traffic lights in operation from Easter: German holidaymakers in Austria and Italy are threatened with traffic chaos. The last day of testing for the Achensee traffic light will take place on Saturday.
Tyrol can also take much more drastic action and close alternative routes. Then only locals and tourists who have booked locally will be allowed to use country roads around the busy motorways. Anyone who leaves anyway risks a fine of up to 726 euros. German traffic law does not offer a similar option.
