New parking permit zone in Gern to start at the end of November

A new parking permit zone is expected to come into operation in Gern, in Munich's ninth district of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, on Monday 30 November.

The zone is bounded by Böcklinstraße to the west, the Westfriedhof cemetery and Baldurstraße to the north, Dachauer Straße and Landshuter Allee to the east, and Dom-Pedro-Straße, St.-Galler-Straße and Nördliche Auffahrtsallee to the south.

Residents who own a car and have no parking space on private property can apply for a parking permit for the new zone, valid for either one or two years. Information for residents and visitors, maps of the area and details on applying online for residents' parking permits are available at muenchenunterwegs.de/parken.

Preparatory work is already under way in the area so that the necessary signs and, where required, parking ticket machines are in place in time for the introduction of parking management.

According to the city, public parking in urban areas is limited, and busy neighbourhoods in particular suffer from traffic caused by drivers searching for a space, which leads to noise, congestion and exhaust fumes. Introducing parking management, for example through new parking permit zones, is intended to help meet the different needs for public parking spaces.
