35. Parken
Parken bedeutet, ein Fahrzeug für eine gewisse Zeit an einer Stelle abzustellen, statt nur kurz wegen der Verkehrslage oder einer unmittelbaren Notwendigkeit anzuhalten. Viele Länder unterscheiden Parken von einem kurzen Halt zum Ein- oder Aussteigenlassen von Personen oder zum Be- oder Entladen von Gütern; die genaue rechtliche Definition unterscheidet sich jedoch.
Parken kann durch Verkehrszeichen, Fahrbahnmarkierungen, Parkzonen und örtliche Vorschriften erlaubt, eingeschränkt, reserviert, zeitlich begrenzt oder verboten sein. Fahrer müssen so parken, dass keine Gefahr oder unnötige Behinderung entsteht, und Bedingungen zu Gebühren, Genehmigungen, Fahrzeugkategorien oder maximaler Parkdauer einhalten.
What is the difference between parking and stopping?
Parking generally means leaving a vehicle stationary for longer than a brief stop required for passengers, loading or unloading. A vehicle stopped because of traffic lights, congestion, an emergency or another traffic condition is normally not considered parked. The precise legal definitions vary between countries.
How can you tell where parking is allowed?
Look for parking signs, prohibition signs, road markings and parking-zone signs. Local rules may also permit parking along certain roads even when individual parking spaces are not marked.
Can you park anywhere if there is no sign prohibiting parking?
No. General traffic rules can prohibit parking even when no specific prohibition sign is present. Common examples include locations where a parked vehicle would obstruct visibility, crossings, intersections, cycle facilities or the movement of other traffic.
Can you park on a pavement or sidewalk?
Parking on a pavement or sidewalk is prohibited or restricted in many countries unless signs or markings specifically allow it. Vehicles must not force pedestrians into the roadway or block an accessible pedestrian route.
Can you park near a pedestrian crossing?
Parking on or close to a pedestrian crossing is generally restricted because a vehicle can hide pedestrians from approaching drivers. The required clearance distance varies between countries.
Can you park close to an intersection?
Many countries prohibit parking within a specified distance of an intersection because parked vehicles can reduce visibility and obstruct turning traffic. Follow the local distance requirements and any signs or markings.
What does a parking sign mean?
A parking sign identifies a place or area where parking is permitted or regulated. Additional signs or panels may specify time limits, payment requirements, vehicle categories, permits or particular parking arrangements.
How does paid parking work?
Where parking is subject to payment, drivers must follow the instructions displayed locally. Payment may be made through a parking meter, ticket machine, mobile application or another authorised system. The permitted duration and charging periods vary by location.
Who may use an accessible parking space?
Spaces marked for people with disabilities are reserved for vehicles displaying or registered with the required disability parking permit. Eligibility, permit display requirements and parking privileges depend on national and local law.
Can you leave a vehicle parked for an unlimited time?
Not necessarily. Local rules may impose a maximum parking duration, even where parking is otherwise permitted. Different limits may apply to abandoned, commercial, heavy or recreational vehicles.
