Parking spaces for district residents (AnwohnerInnenparken)

A traffic sign for parking spaces for district residents

In the central districts of Vienna, on-street parking spaces may be reserved for local residents to improve the parking situation for them. They can be used by vehicle owners with a valid permanent parking permit (Parkpickerl) and drivers with disabilities who have a valid disabled identification card. Both are allowed to park their vehicle there without time restrictions and additional costs.

Parking spaces for district residents are marked by no-stopping and no-parking traffic signs, and an additional sign underneath exempting vehicles with a valid permanent parking permit for residents and drivers with disabilities ("ausgenommen Fahrzeuge mit Parkkleber für den ... Bezirk sowie Behinderte").

It is important to note that the parking spaces are not meant for the exclusive use of residents of a specific neighbourhood, street, or building.

Rules for businesses and social services

Businesses and social services are allowed to park their vehicle in parking spaces for district residents on workdays from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 4 pm, if

  • their office is located in the respective district, and they have a parking chip (Parkchip) for employees and businesses
  • their office is not located in the respective district, but they have to do manual service work regularly
  • they are social welfare services of the City of Vienna, or one of their affiliated institutions, have a parking chip for employees and businesses, and pay their parking fees at a daily or weekly flat rate
  • they are small commercial transporters with a gross vehicle weight (permissible maximum weight) up to 3.5 tons, and have code number "20" for intended use in the vehicle registration certificate, and the letters "KT" at the end of their number plate

Rules for motorcycles and parking card holders

You must not park motorcycles in parking spaces for district residents. As you do not have to pay a short-term parking fee for motorcycles, you cannot apply for a permanent parking permit for residents.

There are specific motorcycle parking areas in Vienna. Additional parking spaces for motorcycles are provided during spring and summer between 1 March and 1 October where possible.

Location of residents’ parking spaces

Residents parking spaces are available at selected locations in the districts 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12 and 15.
