Tyrol does not intend to ease up on heavy goods traffic checks. ASFINAG’s mobile inspection station is to be deployed for 150 days in 2026, and the authorities stress the need to maintain a high level of oversight of road transport.
In 2025, inspections in Tyrol identified 68,000 violations and offences, highlighting the scale of the challenges faced by a region burdened by intense transit traffic.
The scale of violations in Tyrol
Police devoted 87,000 working hours to inspections, and most offences concerned driving and rest time rules – 35,500 cases. In the area of technical defects, 13,587 violations were recorded, while vehicle overloading accounted for 9,300. In categories such as the transport of dangerous goods, weekend, special and night bans, between 1,000 and 2,000 violations were identified. In 4,800 cases, vehicles were prohibited from continuing their journey.
Maintaining a high level of control
An additional 38 days were added to the previously planned 112 days of operation of the mobile station, by decision of the regional government at the request of transport adviser René Zumtobel. Landeshauptmann Anton Mattle emphasises that the enormous transit traffic in Tyrol requires a consistently high level of enforcement.
“Every violation of the rules poses a threat to road safety in Tyrol, and therefore to all road users,” Mattle noted.

Truck technical inspections and inspection site upgrades
Each year, more than 4,000 trucks pass through ASFINAG’s mobile inspection station and undergo technical inspections carried out by state inspectors in cooperation with the police. Checks are conducted not only on motorways in Kundl, Radfeld and Brenner, but also on local roads across the region.
In addition, the inspection sitetachograph in Radfeld is being modernised and rebuilt, with completion planned before summer 2026. The aim is to increase inspection efficiency and improve safety in the region.
