Frequently asked questions
Who gets a disabled parking permit?
The blue EU parking permit is generally granted to people with the mark aG (exceptional walking disability) or Bl (blind). For the orange parking permit, a wider group applies (e.g. certain combinations of marks or serious illnesses). Decisive are the findings in the disability card.
What may I do with the parking permit?
With the blue EU parking permit you may, among other things, park in marked disabled parking spaces and enjoy further parking concessions (also elsewhere in Europe). The orange permit grants individual concessions but not parking in the actual disabled parking spaces.
