Autobahns of Austria
Unlike German autobahns, on Austrian autobahns a general speed limit of 130 km/h (81 mph) is set, although as of August 25, 2018, the FPÖ government has been going on a trial for a possible speed limit increase to 140 km/h (87 mph) on the Autobahn 1 freeway. They may only be used by powered vehicles that are designed to achieve at least . While on the motorway voluntary stops, U-turns and backward driving are prohibited.
Limited-access road
An "autoweg" can consist of two or more lanes. The driving directions can be separated by a roadmarking, or by a central reservation. If a public road ("autosnelweg", "autoweg", "weg") consists of two or more lanes that are clearly separated from each other by a roadside or a space that is not accessible to vehicles, the drivers may not drive on the lane opposite to them.
Some expressways are tailored for local traffic, such as the D28 (Vrbovec Expressway), and some are built as bypasses or beltways, such as the D31 (East Velika Gorica Bypass). Croatia also has a large network of tolled highways for transit traffic with a higher speed limit than expressways. Both highways and expressways are grade-separated throughout their entire length.
Expressways in the Czech Republic, Czech: Rychlostní silnice (abbreviation: R), are defined as dual carriageways with smaller emergency lane. The speed limit is 130 km/h (80 mph). Expressway road signs are white on blue. There are 391.2 km of "rychlostní silnice".
