islands and the like.
A vehicle can stop or park with all or part of the vehicle on
the shoulder, or with part of the vehicle on the pavement if
outside densely built areas. However, only if the maximum

Parking regulations

Pavement and shoulders

Do you
know the rules?
It is the responsibility of Parkeringskontrol Nord to
help ensure that the city continues to be a pleasant
place to travel for pedestrians,
cyclists and motorists.
It is therefore important that you as a driver comply
with the regulations for parking.
It is your responsibility to keep up to date with the
Road Traffic Act and the applicable parking regulations.

Remember the sub-signs

Example 1
This sub-sign means that the stopping
prohibition is applicable both in front
of and behind the sign in the driving
direction.

Example 2

Signs for specific areas

Stopping and parking

Parking prohibited
Here you are not allowed to
park throughout the whole
area except where designated parking spaces are
marked. An area can be a
contiguous area such as an
open space, square or similar. The parking prohibition
applies from when you are
passing a zone-sign at the
entrance until you are passing a zone-sign indicating a
termination of the prohibition at the exit. Please note
there may be sub-signs.

Stopping prohibited
You are not permitted to
stop here. Not even to pick
up or drop off passengers.

Parking prohibited

It is permitted to load and

unload goods and also pick

A parking disc must be used at places where it is signposted that parking is time limited and no ticket machine
is placed. There must only be one parking disc and this
must be clearly displayed in the windshield. The parking
disc must have a pointer which must be set at the time
of the start of the parking. Further information can be

Parking Disc

Play and living area

In this area parking is
completely prohibited for
cars outside specific
marked spaces. This prohibition does not include
bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles.

Parking Ticket
If you park at a place where there are ticket machines,
then you must place the ticket in a way where it is visible
through the windshield. You should be aware of the fact
that the ticket can easily blow away when you close the
door or if you have a window slightly open.

Junctions and the 10-metre-rule

According to the Road Traffic Act it is not permitted to park
in a junction within 10 metres from the closest corner of
the crosscutting lane or bicycle path. The 10-metre-rule
applies to all junctions.
The purpose of the 10-metre-rule is to improve the view for
road users, so that drivers can see pedestrians, bicycles
and mopeds better.
If the corner is rounded, the closest corner will be the place
where the roads meet in a sharp angle. As a general rule,
you can calculate the distance by counting tiles. The tiles
are 80 centimetres long and there should therefore be 12,5
tiles between your car and the junction.
