With their demands, the “last generation” is bringing 100 km/h back into play on the freeways. But what do Vorarlbergers say about this?
Drive slower for the climate: In their actions, the climate activists of the “last generation” are demanding, among other things, 100 km/h on the motorways. There is support here, for example, from Bregenz Deputy Mayor Sandra Schoch. The liberals, on the other hand, do not think much of the restriction.
“Then we won’t need any more freeways”
“Basically, I have nothing against it,” says Ulrike Marte from Dornbirn. “I can understand the environmental thought behind it, so I’m not against it.” This question was asked 30 years ago, says Hubert Goripob from Dornbirn. He doesn’t like that. “Then you can only build highways,” he explains. “Then we won’t need any more freeways.”

“I’m definitely for it”
Gabriela Längle from Dornbirn is for 100 km/h: “I’m definitely in favor of it,” she explains to VOL.AT. Then you might be a little more considerate. The speeders are always a problem in Vorarlberg, says the woman from Dornbirn in an interview with VOL.AT. She would therefore also support 30-restrictions in cities. “What is being rolled up these days is a catastrophe,” she explains.
130 better than 100
Hermine and Wolfgang Wehinger from Hohenems are not fans of restrictions. A highway is simply there to drive. According to Ms. Wehinger, this reduction is not necessary. “You make much better progress at 130 than at 100,” says Wolfgang Wehinger. In relation to other things, private motorists wouldn’t make a difference: “It doesn’t matter for the climate,” he says. “If everyone is allowed to fly individually with a Davos story that’s going on now, then I won’t let anyone talk me into having to pay attention to anything,” explains Hermine Wehinger.

“I don’t mind at all”
“We have a maximum of a hundred almost everywhere,” says Franz from Dornbirn to VOL.AT. Tempo 100 would not matter much here, as he says: “It doesn’t bother me at all.” First of all, he doesn’t drive much on the freeway, secondly there are already enough restrictions.
She often only drives 100 km/h on the autobahn, explains Margit from Dornbirn. It is therefore difficult for her to decide whether 100 km/h makes sense: “I don’t know exactly,” she says. You personally would not be bothered by the restriction if you drive a lot – also for work – on the freeway, that’s another topic. “Difficult”, be that.
