Requesting a traffic waiver
Sometimes you need a waiver from traffic regulations if you want to do something on or to the public road. For example, consider a waiver:
- When parking is prohibited
- For driving a car on a bicycle or footpath
- For the (temporary) placement of a moving truck, crane or structure
- for an event
A waiver can be temporary or long-term.
Notice! When extending a temporary waiver, you must reapply.
For an exemption to park large vehicles, go to Parking large vehicles. To apply for a parking permit or parking waiver in the blue zones, go to P1 Parking Service Office.
What you need to know
- The municipality first looks at whether the requested waiver is really necessary. Sometimes there are other options.
- It also considers whether the pavement is suitable for other uses than intended. For example, a sidewalk is not always suitable for a car.
- Keep in mind that your application for a waiver may be denied.
Stadshart, Dorpsstraat and Fourth Station Street
Vehicular access to the Stadshart and Dorpsstraat is subject to strict rules. This includes the use of the bus lock on Fourth Station Street by vehicles other than line buses.
For the City Center, Dorpsstraat and Fourth Station Street, waivers apply for:
- Loading and unloading in the Stadshart via the pedestrian area between 07:00 and 11:00.
- Loading and unloading in the Dorpsstraat after 11 a.m.
- Passing the bus lock on Fourth Station Street.
Residents of the Dorpsstraat will only receive a temporary waiver to park a vehicle if they can park on their own property.
Companies in the Dorpsstraat
Newly established businesses in the Dorpsstraat will not receive a waiver. The basic principle is that the company must make a prior assessment of whether it can operate based on the prevailing traffic situation. A single exception is made for companies that depend on auction times, for example (and have to deal with the transport of fresh produce). However, the company must demonstrate why it is not possible to load and unload between 06:00 and 11:00.
