Purpose (ParkR)

1. This regulation governs the parking of motor vehicles and trailers on public land.

1. The municipality is authorized to control and monitor stationary traffic within its municipal territory. Its competent officials may impose administrative fines and, in the event of the rejection of the administrative fine procedure, file criminal charges.

2. The enforcement of this regulation is the responsibility of the Department of Construction and Environment.

1. Public roads and squares, municipality-owned properties, and areas subject to the municipality's right of use are considered public land.

2. Parking is the stopping of motor vehicles or trailers that does not merely serve the purpose of allowing persons to enter or exit or for the transshipment of goods.

3. Long-term parking is parking for a duration of 15 minutes or more.

4. No-parking zones are zones in villages, whose beginning and end are signposted accordingly, and in which parking on public land outside of designated parking areas is not permitted.

1. The municipal council shall develop a parking concept as a basis for the measures to be enacted. The parking concept shall be adjusted as needed.

2. For parking on public ground, various parking categories are defined in the parking concept. The different needs of the respective parking users must be adequately considered.

3. In the villages, particularly in the centers and near-center areas, no-parking zones can be defined in the parking concept.

1. Parking on public grounds is regulated by local and temporal restrictions.

2. In no-parking zones, parking on public grounds outside of designated parking spaces is prohibited.

3. Long-term parking on public grounds generally requires payment of a fee, although the municipal council may establish local and temporal exemptions from this fee requirement.

4. Long-term parkers may apply for a permit in the form of a fee-based monthly or annual badge. The permit does not entitle the holder to a parking space; it merely grants the right to park, provided there is space available in the designated parking areas.

5. During special events, parking restrictions or parking fees may be temporarily lifted. For the same reason, temporary parking bans can be imposed or special parking fees required.

1. The Municipal Council issues a fee schedule.

2. The fee schedule determines the chargeable period for the various parking categories and sets the parking fees up to a maximum of CHF 2.00 per hour. For long-term parking from two hours onwards, as well as overnight, a reduced rate may be applied.

3. The fee schedule contains the criteria for granting a permit for long-term parking and determines the fees for various types of authorized persons (residents, employees, etc.) considering the parking category, up to a maximum of CHF 100.00 for monthly vignettes or CHF 1,000.00 for annual vignettes.

1. The revenues from parking fees are primarily intended for the construction, operation, and maintenance of existing parking spaces and the expansion of the parking facilities offered on public land.

2. Furthermore, they are used for the construction, operation, and maintenance of facilities and installations serving private and public transport, as well as for traffic calming measures and slow traffic.

3. 5% of the revenues from parking fees are used for the establishment and maintenance of charging stations for electric vehicles.

1. Appeals against decisions and orders of the Department of Construction and Environment can be lodged with the Municipal Council within 30 days.

2. Appeals against decisions of the Municipal Council can be lodged with the competent cantonal department within 30 days.

3. The legal recourse for fines imposed by the competent officials is governed by federal law.
