Presentation at the ÖVG event on the introduction of 30 km/h zones

PLANUM was also represented at the ÖVG event “Smart plans & smart strategies – mobility turnaround in municipalities” in Vienna last week.

Our expert for VLSA and traffic calming Konstantin Mizera gave an inspiring presentation on the introduction of 30 km/h zones and their contribution to road safety. Representing Department 9 of the Office of the Carinthian Provincial Government, we were able to show that although the 35th amendment to the Austrian Road Traffic Act (StVO) of July 1, 2024 opens up new opportunities for 30 km/h speed zones, successful implementation on the ground requires additional support and clear framework conditions from the province. Practical examples from Styria and Carinthia show how 30 km/h and other traffic-calming measures on provincial roads contribute to greater road safety and quality of life.

In the subsequent discussion with Elisabeth Blanik (Mayor of Lienz) and Thomas Fischer (Graz Road Authority), the different perspectives of the municipalities were presented.

Expert support for the ORF district traffic concept

“The residential area between Münzgrabenstraße, St.-Peter-Hauptstraße, Brucknerstraße, Petrifelderstraße, Karl-Huber-Gasse and Liebenauer Tangente still has an increased volume of motorized individual traffic (MIV) despite some traffic calming measures, such as the bicycle lane in Marburger Straße and the drive-through barrier. Furthermore, several urban development projects are expected in the area’s immediate vicinity in the future, which could have an impact on traffic in the Harmsdorf-ORF district.” [© 2026 City of Graz]


Last year, work began on developing a traffic concept for the Harmsdorf – ORF quarter residential area, including two surveys. PLANUM was represented in the project team during this process to provide technical support. In addition to consultations and the development of possible variants, PLANUM also carried out the traffic counts and the modeling of the different variants in the area. PLANUM was also represented at the two planning exhibitions in mid-January 2026 to provide information on the traffic-related background.

We are delighted to have been involved in this exciting project!

Stanz/Mürztal through road

The construction of a meeting zone is planned in the center of Stanz im Mürztal. This will revitalize the town center and allow motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists to coexist on an equal footing. The quality of life on the town square will also improve. The analysis of the current situation shows that the road cross-section is undersized. A meeting zone and traffic calming is therefore also desirable for the safety of pedestrians.

The planned redesign of the streetscape will make the town center more attractive for non-motorized traffic and improve the townscape.

Some of the planned measures are:

  • Create a level surface

  • Adapt surface optically for pedestrian zones

  • Construct the new concrete ceiling as a grid field, crosswise striped with concrete strips (white concrete)

  • The bus situation is structurally adapted and improved

  • A new entrance and exit to Raiffeisenbank

  • Swale stones on both sides of the road improve drainage for the side streets and the community forecourt

  • New plantings in front of the municipal office

This contract was successfully completed by PLANUM in September 2023.
