Special use of public traffic areas (roads, cycle paths, footpaths) for work and construction sites

  • Performance specification

    Setting up a work/construction site on a public road is a special use requiring authorisation. This requires an order under traffic law and/or a special permit and a special use permit under road law
    Authorisation is required for e.g.

    • Construction sites in general (demolition work, structural and civil engineering work, pipeline work)
    • Construction trailer or team/ equipment huts
    • Site fence
    • Material store
    • Scaffolding
    • Skips and containers
    • Lifting platforms
    • Truck-mounted crane, construction crane, inclined lift or cherry picker
    • Removals

    Information on setting up cranes:

    When using public traffic areas to set up construction cranes or mobile cranes, you must consult the relevant utility companies before using the area.

    This is because only the relevant utility company can judge whether the lines that may run in the area to be used can withstand the load or whether important work or repairs need to be carried out.
     

  • What are the fees?

    The amount of charges for the use of public roads is subject to a scale and depends on the type and duration of use.
    The fee ranges from 10.20 euros to 767.00 euros.

  • What deadlines do I have to observe?

    In order to ensure that your application is processed on time, it must be submitted at least 2 weeks before the planned start of road use.

Who do I need to contact?

Special information for - District of Waldeck-Frankenberg

The municipalities are also responsible for federal, state and district roads within the local through-roads (§ 17 Hessisches Straßengesetz - HStrG -, § 4 para. 1 Bundesfernstraßengesetz - FStrG).
Outside the local through-roads, the field offices of Hessen Mobil are responsible. For reasons of administrative simplification, no separate approval is required from the responsible road construction authority in cases where a permit for excessive road use or an exemption is required according to the provisions of road traffic law (cf. § 16 para. 7 HStrG, § 8 para. 6 FStrG).
The approval is granted by the road traffic authority with the involvement of the police, the civil engineering office and, if necessary, other offices.
