Competent authority
Depending on the jurisdiction, to the local road traffic authorities or the Thuringian State Administration Office.
Requirements
Anyone with a justified request is entitled to apply. Exemptions shall be granted only in cases of urgent need, with due regard to traffic safety and order in particular.
The granting of exemptions for commercial purposes shall be limited to urgent cases. Detours are to be accepted as a matter of principle, since economic or competitive reasons alone do not justify the granting of exceptions.
Which documents are required?
Evidence of the need for a special permit for the specific situation.
The justification must state why it appears unreasonable to carry out the transport on the subordinate road network in order to circumvent the prohibited routes.
If applicable, further documents required by the competent authority.
What are the fees?
According to the Fee Regulations for Road Traffic Measures (GebOSt), there is a general fee range of 10.20 euros to 179.00 euros for a decision on an exception to the traffic ban for trucks (Geb.-Nr. 271).
What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?
As a rule, no deadlines apply, but an application should be submitted as early as possible and not at short notice. Certain processing times should be granted to the authority.
Processing duration
Depending on the individual case and involvement of other agencies.
Legal basis
Applications / forms
The decision (administrative act) on an application may be appealed by means of an objection/complaint.
Appeal
Forms (also online) are usually provided by the relevant authorities for applications. These must be submitted in writing with a detailed justification.
What else should I know?
As transport can also be carried out outside the prohibited routes during the vacation travel period (July and August), a particularly strict standard must be applied when considering the granting of exemptions.
The granting of exemptions for commercial purposes must be limited to urgent cases. Detours must be accepted as a matter of principle, since economic or competitive reasons alone do not justify the granting of an exception.
