Upon request, the road traffic authorities may grant exemptions from the general traffic regulations of the Road Traffic Regulations and from the prohibitions or restrictions imposed by signs or markings.
The road traffic authorities may only grant a special permit in particularly urgent exceptional situations in individual cases or in general for certain applicants (e.g. severely disabled persons with exceptional walking disabilities and blind persons, residents, craftsmen or persons working in social services) and only for a limited period of time.
They are required to meet strict requirements in terms of proving the special exceptional situation and urgency. The safety of traffic must not be impaired by the special permit. If necessary, the road traffic authority must ensure this by imposing additional requirements and conditions. If necessary, such requirements and conditions must also be imposed to prevent any loss of traffic flow.
The road traffic authority should carry out a consultation procedure for this purpose. The authorities concerned will be heard. As a citizen, however, you have no legal right to be granted such a special permit. However, you can demand that the road traffic authority exercises its discretion in accordance with its duties. The exceptional situation you claim must be weighed up by the road traffic authority against the public interests and the interests of third parties.
Information can be obtained from the road traffic authorities at the district offices, independent towns and municipalities.
The fee for the decision on an exemption is €10.20 to €767.00 per exemption and per vehicle/person. A reduced total fee may be charged for several vehicles/persons or similar cases. Different fee regulations apply to exemptions for oversized and heavy goods vehicles.
In addition, there may be costs for expenses incurred by the authorities.
Residents of urban districts whose parking space is managed due to a considerable lack of parking space (recognizable by special traffic signs with additional signs) can apply for so-called resident parking permits.
A permit is required for the movement of vehicles whose dimensions, axle loads or total weights exceed the limits generally permitted by law or whose design does not provide the driver with a sufficient field of vision.
The units and facilities involved in civil protection also perform the tasks of protecting the population from the special dangers and damage that threaten in the event of defense. They are additionally equipped and trained for this purpose.
Specially marked parking spaces for severely disabled persons are intended exclusively for use by certain severely disabled persons. The required parking permit can be applied for from the municipality of residence if the medical requirements are met.
If you wish to hold an event on a road, you must apply for a permit for excessive road use.
The regulation of moving and stationary traffic is the responsibility of the road traffic authorities. In Bavaria, these are the district municipalities, district administration offices, independent municipalities and large district towns.
You can apply for an exemption permit for the installation of equipment and advertising on public roads.
