Überfahrtsangelegenheiten

Do you need permission from the road authorities to use a road surface, such as footpaths, cycle paths or green spaces, with a vehicle on a crossing? You can apply for this permit from the Department of Roads and Traffic.

According to Section 17 of the BremLStrG (Bremen State Roads Act), road surfaces that are not intended to accommodate general motor vehicle traffic, such as footpaths, cycle paths or green spaces, may only be used by vehicles on a crossing with the permission of the road construction authority.

• Identity card, passport

The owner, heritable building owner or usufructuary of a property bordering the road is entitled to apply. If the property does not border on the road and is connected to it exclusively by a drivable access secured by public law via an adjoining property, the owner, the hereditary building owner or usufructuary of the rear property is also entitled to apply.

Please use the online service for the application for permission and construction of a crossing and submit it together with the required site plan from GeoInformation Bremen about 2 months before the intended use. Further information can be found on the ASV homepage:

Please note that separate permits, approvals or authorizations are required for driving over facilities that are not subject to the BremLStrG, such as third-party properties, railway tracks, watercourses, flood protection facilities, etc.
