People demonstrate playing music and holding a banner reading: 'Better using rail than to cause traffic chaos' near the A13 Brenner Highway in the direction of Italy during the blockade of the Brenner Base Tunnel and a demonstration against transit traffic on May 30, 2026, on the Tyrolean Brenner Highway. A protest in Austria on May 30 against noise and pollution is set to close one of Europe's most important highways connecting Germany and Italy, potentially causing major traffic disruptions. Communities in Austria's western Tyrol province have long complained about traffic, especially trucks passing over the Brenner Pass and through the province.
