It is important to remember that on open city parking lots you can leave the car from 30 minutes to 2-3 hoursFollow the park on the parking lot. The price for 1 hour is approximately 2 euros, 15 minutes - free.
If you are going to walk for a longer time - use underground parkingThey are more expensive but leave the car there you can unlimited time. The price is written at the entrance to Parking and is approximately 25 euros per day (Vienna, Salzburg).
Many hotels that do not have their own parking are concluded contracts with underground parking. If you are the guests of this hotel, simply take a parking card at the reception.

| from 31 to 40 km / h | € 70 | € 140 - 160 |
| from 41 to 50 km / h | - | € 150 – 300 |
| from 50 km / h and above | - | € 150 - 2,180 |
| from 70 km / h and above | - | depression of Wu from 6 weeks |
When measuring the speed, the measurement error is taken into account, the type of device and the speed at which it is measured (subtracted from the measured value):
- up to 100 km / h:
- 3 km / h - stationary laser radar
- 5 km / h - stationary radar radar
- 7 km / h - Mobile radar
- over 100 km / h:
- 3% - stationary laser radar
- 5% - stationary radar radar
- 7% - Mobile radar
This means that in the plot, with a permitted speed of 50 km / h, punishment in theory May come from the measured speed of 54 km / h.
In practice, the amount of punishment remains at the discretion of a police patrol and concrete circumstances of the road situation. So, for example, in the zone of the School's sign, the punishment will follow even for the minimum speed.

The European Union has 28 states until the United Kingdom out of it in the process of the Brexit procedure. When it comes to fines, each of them applies its legislation and various guidelines.
Some of the EU countries make a "hole" in rights, others are deprived of rights until the penalty is paid. And in the third, there is an original system called "Day Fine", something like the "day finance limit". The more wealth - the harder the fines, so that it was not believed that the rich capable of paying any penalty.
Briefly present the concept of "Day Fine". Instead of a fixed punishment for various violations, the percentage of a monthly income of a person is taken as a unit of measurement, and then multiplied by a fixed coefficient depending on the danger of violation. For example, in Finland, the fine is calculated after paying social insurance, taxes and deductions of the "main allowance for accommodation" in the amount of 255 euros per month.
The remaining amount is divided into 60, and the resulting number is considered a "day finance limit", which can not be less than 6 euros, and is multiplied by the above coefficient. But in the same Finland, there is a minimum penalty for various violations, and the "day limit" applies only to some points of violations, while others are subject to the standard scheme.
The best example for Finland is speeding. If you exceed it no more than 20 km / h, you get a standard penalty, but if 21 km / h - the "day finance limit" is used. Finland is not the only country in which such a system operates, so it is better to be more careful, being abroad on vacation.
But back to our topic. Let's talk about fines related to speed exceeding (and, only up to 20 km / h) in the largest countries of Europe. We divided them into small, moderate and largest. So:
Small fines
Germany, Greece, Luxembourg and Austria The number of countries that have relatively small fines for drivers exceeded the installed speed limit of 20 km / h. In Greece, this is 50 euros independently, where there was a violation. In contrast, German drivers pay a fixed rate for this violation on motorways and country roads, but they pay a little more for the same misconduct in the city.
In Austria, a fine of 50 euros for exceeding up to 20 km / h is paid to country roads, a smaller penalty is provided for this on the motorway, and less - in the city. Countries such as Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Poland, Romania and Turkey also have legislation supporting the proposal of punishment for such a violation in the form of a fine of about 50 euros.
Moderate fines
Belgium, France, Finland, Italy, Ireland, Spain, Netherlands and Connected Kingdom Located in the list of countries with "moderate" financial sanctions for speeding up to 20 km / h. In the United Kingdom, regardless of whether it happened in the city or on the motorway, it is paid a little less than 100 euros. In Ireland, a smaller penalty, but not so much to enter the category of "small" fines.
In the Netherlands, the penalty varies from 100 to 150 euros depending on where the violation occurred. In Finland, on average, it costs 130 euros without dividing the city / motorway. France in such financial sanctions is located between Finland and Belgium, but "malicious" violators there may be prison. Meanwhile, Spain from this point of view is between Ireland and Finland. Italy also has a "ceiling" of a fine for speeding up to 20 km / h in 150 euros.
The largest fines
Similar violation B. Dani. Maybe for someone to become extremely expensive. In the city it will "cost" 400 euros. At the freeway - 325, while "groaning" on rural roads can be 200 euros.
Test mode maximum speed Moves of cars up to 140 km / h will begin to act on the main Austrian high-speed highway "Western Autoban A-1" from August 1, 2018. This was reported in the Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technologies of the country.
The innovation will affect the two plots of the auto, with a total length of 120 kilometers, in the federal lands of Lower and Upper Austria. The maximum allowed high-speed mode will be raised there from 130 to 140 km / h.
The ministry explained that "the launch of the test mode has become possible due to the developed road network on the highway, high-quality asphalt coating and low emergency hazard." In addition, from the last century, when a restriction was taken in 130 km / h, the safety of cars was significantly improved. It is important, however, it is noted that the new high-speed regime will act only under the optimal conditions of movement. During rain, fog or other bad weather, the driver must independently determine the optimal speed and carry responsibility for this.
Now the Office and construction of Austria roads during the year will conduct studies of the road transportation in areas with a permitted speed of 140 km / h. Experts will analyze possible changes as air, noise level, mid speed Machines and quantities of road accidents. Thus, by August 2019, the Ministry of Transport, Innovation and Technologies will be able to make a decision to increase maximum speed in other areas of the autobahn.
To date, the maximum permitted speed on highways in Austria for motorcycles and passenger cars with a mass of no more than 3.5 tons is 130 km / h. At some dangerous areas, it is limited to 80 km / h. The amount of the fine in violation speed \u200b\u200bregime The autobahn varies: 20 km / h - from 30 to 50 euros, 50 km / h or more - about 2180 euros and deprivation of rights for several months. It is curious that in Austria there is a special method for calculating the speed, according to which drivers seem to be the right of the so-called "tolerance of ten kilometers per hour", because the speed may affect temperature fluctuations and other phenomena. It turns out that the violators of the speed regime in 140 km / h will be fined, only if they open the speed to 151 km / h.
It is noteworthy that the speed limit of 140 km / h is extremely rare in Europe. Such speed is allowed only in Poland and Bulgaria. In the eighteen European countries, the high-speed maximum is set to 130 km / h, in eight countries, namely in Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Serbia, the speed limit is limited to 120 km / h. There are also slowers of all residents of Norway, Liechtenstein, Latvia, Montenegro and Cyprus: they cannot accelerate more than 100 km / h.
