Rating: Parked vehicles may not block cycle paths

Projecting a parked car to a considerable extent in a user requiring bike path into it, it must be towed. The subpoena is particularly always proportionate where near such a major event takes place and to expect increased traffic volume. However, if the total width of the cycle track to more than a third block, the appropriate towing in off-peak.

This was decided by the administrative court of North Rhine-Westphalia (case no 954/10 5 A). As the German Bar Hotline reported, the legal provisions prohibiting the towing of a vehicle illegally parked in the case of disability extended to other road users. Therefore, intrusion of the parked cars in the bike path already rich - but only from a certain size, the degree of disability.

What matters is whether the wrong vehicle is parked in the concrete situation, a significant barrier. Cyclists must at any rate not in principle expect that their bike path is blocked - even if only partially. This is especially true if it is an obligation to use cycle lanes.
