Ground markings in front of driveways

The permissibility of applying road markings in front of driveways to private properties requires examination and approval by the Mobility Department.

Description

According to Section 12 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), parking is generally prohibited in front of property entrances and exits. On narrow carriageways, the parking ban also applies on the opposite side. Current case law assumes that repeated manoeuvring is reasonable. In individual cases, the general parking ban in front of driveways can be extended or clarified with a white zig-zag marking.

The measure is subject to a charge. The application of the markings is a sovereign task and is carried out by a company commissioned by the building department.

Prerequisites

In individual cases, the general parking ban in front of driveways can be extended or clarified with a white zig-zag marking. The following conditions apply:

  • The width of the property driveway and the width of the road are so small that access to the property is unreasonably restricted.
  • The application may only be submitted by the property owner or a property management company, but not by a tenant.
  • In the case of a double property access road, the two owners concerned must each sign a separate application.

Required documents

  • Informal written application with a description of the situation
  • Photo of the location
  • Your express declaration that you are prepared to bear the costs of the marking (declaration of assumption of costs)
