Illegal parking is dangerous!

Stand: 14.07.2026

Road users—and especially emergency responders—are hindered. Therefore, please always park your vehicle properly.

Within the city limits, illegal parking on sidewalks and bike paths is a widespread practice. This obstructs and endangers pedestrians, cyclists, people with strollers, and those with limited mobility in many areas. Above all, however, it hinders emergency responders such as firefighters and emergency medical services.
