For years, the city of Vienna has been pursuing the plan to implement a traffic-calmed city center with camera surveillance. However, there has so far been no legal basis for the project. This will now come into force on May 1st: Specifically, the amendment to the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) implemented by the federal government will create the conditions for access control with cameras. Cities can use this to implement monitored entry restrictions or entry bans in clearly defined areas.
