Roads are usually reserved for road traffic.

According to § 33 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), there is a ban on offering goods and services of any kind on the road if road users could be distracted or harassed in a way that endangers or aggravates traffic. In such cases, an exemption is required, but this can only be granted if there is a compelling need for careful consideration of all legal interests. The exemption can be applied for

• for certain individual cases or
• generally for certain applicants.

The term "road" here refers to areas directly dedicated to road traffic.

The "offering of services and goods" also includes the advertising for them. If certain sizes of the advertising media are exceeded, building law concerns must also be examined. There are special commercial rules for types of business that are carried out only or mainly on the street (such as taxi rides, peddler sales on the street).

Please check with your local road traffic authority for the required documents, as these may vary from one authority to another. As a rule, at least proof of the need for an exemption is required.

Exemptions are only granted if there is an urgent need, with due regard in particular to the safety and order of traffic (discretionary decision).

In addition, requirements may be laid down in the statutes of the districts or of the independent or large cities belonging to the district.
