Does the parking permit entitle the holder to a parking space?
There is no entitlement to a parking space; only the right to park the vehicle in a resident parking area is acquired.

What are visitor tickets / weekly tickets?
Visitor cards are issued only to residents of the corresponding park areas. The purchaser of the Visitor Card does not have to be the owner of a vehicle in order to receive Visitor Cards or Weekly Tickets.

How long is a visitor's ticket / weekly ticket valid?
After purchase, the visitor's card has no expiration date as long as it is not filled in. Filled visitor cards are valid for the duration of one calendar day. However, please also take into account the management times. A weekly ticket is valid for 7 days.
-
Is it allowed to park the car on the street in front of one's garage entrance without purchasing a parking permit?
In principle, i.e. if there is no legal ban on stopping or parking, you may park your own vehicle in front of your own driveway. The owner may also allow others to park in front of their own driveway.

Who is the contact person if the vehicle owner has received a warning?
Contact the Bremen Public Order Office - Bußgeldstelle.

As a relative, you would like to care for a person in need of care - what to do?
Residents in need of care who are cared for by private individuals (relatives, acquaintances, voluntary helpers) receive a special parking permit if the following requirements are met: The main residence must be in one of the residents' parking areas and at least care level I in accordance with § 15 SGB XI must be proven (certificate from the main welfare office or the health insurance company must be submitted).
-
What to do if the special parking permit is about to expire?
The special parking permit can be extended. Please submit an application for extension online at https://service.bremen.de (Service: Resident parking) 2-3 weeks before the expiry date.

What do I need to consider if I want to park my trailer or motorcycle in the resident parking area?
A trailer may be parked in the resident parking area free of charge, but not for more than 14 days. Motorcycles may park in the residents' parking area without a special parking permit.
This does not apply to parking ticket machines / parking ticket meters within the management hours and not on correspondingly marked parking spaces. This is generally regulated in § 12 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO).
