Please note – Motorcycle restrictions in the Imst & Reutte district
The Tyrolean Oberland offers a wide range of activities, particularly for motorbike enthusiasts, as well as numerous impressive cross-border tours. In order to mitigate noise pollution for local residents to some extent, the Province of Tyrol has imposed driving bans on a small section of the roads in the districts of Imst and Reutte. These apply to particularly loud motorbikes with a stationary noise level exceeding 95 dBA. The driving bans affect only around 5.6% of the total regional road network in Tyrol. Consequently, motorcyclists riding a motorcycle that, in terms of its approved stationary noise level, is subject to the driving bans, which came into force on 10 June 2020, may still use more than 94% of the regional roads in Tyrol. Only around 7% of registered vehicles are affected by this driving ban. These restrictions apply from 15 April to 31 October each year.
