Handicapped Parking

Special parking permits are available for people with disabilities. Whenever you use such a permit, please display it inside your windshield so it is clearly visible. Holders of this permit (or vehicle drivers who regularly transport a severely handicapped person) are allowed to park:

• in no-parking areas signposted “Parken verboten”
• subject to no time restrictions in short-term parking zones
• in pedestrian zones during times when loading activities are generally permitted
• on handicapped parking spaces (unless an additional sign indicates they are reserved for a specific vehicle)
 
as well as

• in the second lane, at points on the road where stopping and parking are generally prohibited, in order to exit and enter the vehicle as well as load and unload any equipment required by the handicapped person (e.g. wheelchair) - insofar as other road users are not prevented from passing or leaving.

Note: In Austria, the parking fee is waived also in short-stay parking zones!

You can find the locations of disabled parking spaces here.

You will also find disabled parking spaces in some of the car parks close to the town centre: Altstadtgarage A, Parkgarage Linzer Gasse, Parkgarage am Paracelsusbad, Tiefgarage Barmherzige Brüder, Tiefgarage Auersperg, Tiefgarage Imbergstraße, Tiefgarage Unipark Nonntal.

Note on the disabled parking spaces within the bollards (e.g. Mozartplatz, Festspielhaus): the bollards can be unlocked with the Euro-Key and the (bollard-protected) disabled parking spaces in the Old Town can be accessed. Guests without a Euro-Key must use the disabled parking spaces outside the bollard-protected area.
