Exemption for driving on roads with weight restrictions

If a vehicle that exceeds the permitted weight is to be driven on a road for which a weight restriction applies, a special permit must be applied for beforehand.

Please clarify with any company you have commissioned whether any subcontractors will be carrying out the transportation. Please then name the owner company. We would like to point out that the holder of the exemption permit is liable for any damage incurred.

Due to the extensive checks (e.g. bridge requirements etc.) required for this special permit, we request that the corresponding application is submitted at least 14 days before the start of the journey. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Here you will find an overview of the weight-restricted roads and places (see link). If the road you are looking for is not on the list, it may be a road/path that falls under the responsibility of Umweltbetrieb Bremen.

In the case of private road communities, please contact the road inspector directly and ask for a permit.
