Residents' parking areas - Interactive map
With this interactive online map you can view the location of residents' parking spaces in Erlangen online.
Parking meters and parking ticket machines should primarily be installed where there is insufficient parking space and it is therefore necessary to ensure that as many vehicles as possible can park one after the other for as short a precisely limited time as possible. Parking space management thus makes it easier for individual road users to find a parking space, even when the parking situation is tight.
The Federal Road Traffic Act authorizes the state governments to issue corresponding fee regulations, so-called parking fee regulations. In Bavaria, the authorization to issue the regulations has been delegated to the local (municipalities) and lower road traffic authorities (district administrations, independent municipalities and large district towns).
These fee regulations apply to parking on marked public roads and squares. Parking charges may not exceed €0.50 per half hour or part thereof, or €1.30 in areas with particular parking pressure.
From April 1, 2025, all cars with an "E" at the end of their license plate will also be able to park free of charge for up to three hours in all public parking spaces in Bavaria. The exemption from charges only applies to public parking areas (where parking space management has been ordered in accordance with the Road Traffic Regulations). The exemption from charges for electric vehicles does not apply to private parking spaces. These may be parking spaces with a barrier or parking garages where you have to take a ticket when entering. If in doubt as to whether a parking fee exemption applies, it is essential to check the local parking conditions notice. The maximum permitted parking time must also be observed. This may be less than three hours and is not invalidated by the exemption from charges.
In areas where there is no public use under road law (e.g. private parking spaces), (higher) civil law charges may be levied on the basis of private law regulations.
