Is there no parking facility for your company's service or workshop vehicle within a reasonable distance of your place of work? With the craftsman parking permit, you can park the vehicle on weekdays for the duration of the work assignment in the following areas:
- in restricted no-parking zones
- in no-stopping zones, even outside the designated areas
- in traffic-calmed areas outside the marked areas
- at parking meters and in the area of parking ticket machines without charge
- in areas with compulsory parking discs without observing the maximum parking time
- in residents' car parks with corresponding additional signs
The use of the craftsman's parking permit can be revoked at any time, especially if
- Impairment of the safety and order of traffic or
- misuse (e.g. making a copy).
Note: Parking in pedestrian zones, on disabled parking spaces or in the area of the business premises is not possible with the MRN craftsman parking permit. If you require a special permit for the pedestrian zone, you must submit a separate application on site.
