You may park in spaces reserved for people with disabilities.
Or receive other parking accommodations.

To do so, you need a parking permit.

The parking permit is the same throughout the European Union.

People with severe disabilities who have an exceptional walking impairment (classification code aG), bilateral ameliia or phocomelia, or comparable functional limitations, as well as blind people, can obtain a special permit (“blue parking permit”).

Only with the “blue parking permit” may you park in spaces marked with an additional sign featuring the wheelchair symbol (“disabled parking spaces”). The “blue parking permit” is valid in all countries of the European Union.

In addition, you are entitled to the following privileges if no other parking option is available within a reasonable distance:

• Parking with a parking disc for up to three hours in areas where a limited no-stopping zone is in effect.
• Exceeding the permitted parking duration within a no-stopping zone
• Parking in areas where parking is permitted by traffic signs, beyond the time allowed by supplementary signs
• Parking during permitted loading times in pedestrian zones
• Parking free of charge and without time limits at parking meters and ticket dispensers
• Parking with a parking disc for up to three hours in parking spaces designated for residents of urban neighborhoods.
• Parking in designated traffic-calmed areas outside of marked parking zones, provided you do not obstruct through traffic.

For people with severe disabilities who have bilateral amelia or phocomelia, or comparable functional limitations, the time limits that require the use of a parking disc do not apply.

You must display the parking permit clearly behind the windshield and always carry the exemption permit with you.
