Exemption for press activities 
-
Basic information
Journalists are often dependent on the use of a motor vehicle to travel to their place of work in order to perform their duties.
- However, due to parking pressure, especially in inner-city areas, there is often no parking available for these needs.
- In this case, an exemption permit for parking can be granted for certain journalistic tasks within the framework of Section 46 (1) of the Road Traffic Act.
- These are, in particular, specific appointments that cannot be planned, which occur repeatedly and definitely require corresponding parking.
- Their use is to be limited to urgent cases in which the press needs quick access to the location of the event and it is unreasonable to use other parking facilities due to the urgency.
