Parking: Apply for an exemption as a family carer or care service

  • Short text

    • You can apply for an exemption from stopping and parking bans if you look after people in need of assistance or care as part of "family care" and are absolutely dependent on a motor vehicle, which you must park at the respective location (in the residents' parking area).
  • Full text

    Family care vehicles can receive a parking authorisation from the responsible authority. This can, for example, authorise free parking in restricted no-parking zones, in residents' parking zones or in parking management zones (parking spaces with parking meters or parking ticket machines). The exemption authorisation is generally only valid for certain individual family care activities.

    Please note the exact content of the exemption authorisation. Above all, when using the exemption authorisation, other persons must not be endangered or hindered.
