Motorsport event; applying for a permit

A motor sport event that is not to take place exclusively on public roads requires a safety permit from the district authorities, independent cities or major district towns.

Permission must be refused if this appears necessary to prevent risks to life, health or property, or to protect the general public or local residents from significant disadvantages or nuisance, or to prevent significant damage to nature or the landscape. The same applies where other provisions of public law preclude such an event.

To protect these legal interests, the district authorities, independent cities or major district towns may issue orders on a case-by-case basis.

For motor sport events that are to take place exclusively or partly on public roads, only a permit under road traffic law from the competent road traffic authority is required, or such a permit is required in addition.
