Art. 48 OSR · Parking Signage

Parking areas are indicated by the signs "Parking Allowed" (4.17), "Parking with Parking Disc" (4.18), or "Paid Parking" (4.20).

The parking regulations and restrictions concerning the parking duration are displayed on an additional plaque.

When parking is time-limited, vehicles must leave the parking area no later than the moment the authorized parking duration expires, unless it is permitted, according to the instructions on the parking meter, to pay an additional fee before the end of the authorized time.

The restriction of the authorization to park to specific user groups or certain categories of vehicles is indicated in the blue field of the parking sign or on an additional plaque. Alternatively, it may also be indicated by a mark on the parking space. The restriction of the authorization to park by means of a mark is governed by Art. 79, para. 4.

If parking areas are specifically intended for drivers who wish to use public transportation, the type of public transportation may be indicated in full letters or symbols in the blue field of the parking sign (4.25).

If the distance and direction to a parking area need to be indicated, the corresponding information will be displayed in the blue field of the "Parking Allowed" sign (4.17) or on an additional plaque.

If the area where parking is permitted is covered, the blue field of the parking sign can be supplemented with a stylized roof (e.g., "Covered Parking" sign, 4.21).
