“Pure Harassment”: Germany Angered as Austria Moves to Restrict Access to Country Roads

Germany’s state of Bavaria and Austria have found themselves at odds about the cross-border transportation issue. Earlier, Vienna condemned Berlin’s proposal to implement tolls on German highways, a EU court ruled that the measure was discriminatory against non-residents.
Austria’s province of Tyrol announced on Thursday its intention to close major highway exits in and around the city of Innsbruck in a bid to prevent motorists from circumventing the toll motorway by using country roads.
