Germany – Engineering services – Neuordnung des Parkens in Bremen: Aufnahme des Straßenraums, Nachfrageerhebungen, Entwurfs- und Betriebsplanung etc.

The public spaces, particularly in the inner-city districts of Bremen, are heavily burdened by parked vehicles. Often, parking is not in compliance with regulations. The Federal Administrative Court, in its judgment of 6 June 2024 and the subsequent reasoning of the judgment of 26 September 2024 (judgment of the 3rd Senate of 6 June 2024 - BVerwG 3 C 5.23), has fundamentally confirmed a holistic, conceptual approach to the gradual regulation of parking while respecting the principles of equal treatment and proportionality. Based on the judgment of the Federal Administrative Court, the City of Bremen has developed a "Concept for dealing with pavement parking". Parking in Bremen's public spaces is to be re-regulated according to the criteria formulated in the reasoning of the Federal Administrative Court's judgment, as well as within the framework of existing urban planning requirements. In this context, parking will be re-regulated not only in the streets that were the subject of the dispute, but also in all other streets where parking is prohibited on pavements.
