If you want to organise an event on a public road, you are using it "more than usual". A special permit is required for this.

Examples include

• Motorsport events
• Classic car events
• cycle races
• Marathons, triathlons, relay races
• Demonstrations, marches
• Parades, street festivals
• Traditional events
• markets

The organisation of a major event on public roads requires careful planning and implementation, especially because of the necessary safety and environmental protection measures. It is therefore recommended to discuss the details with the responsible road traffic authority at an early stage.

In particular, the following are required for processing

• Proof of sufficient insurance cover (the road traffic authority will specify this)
• Details of the number of participants and (if available) participant lists
• Route plans
• Schedules and timetables

• The organisation of the event on public roads is still compatible with "general traffic", the routes are suitable for this and sufficient safety measures are taken.
• An organiser organises the event and carries it out under his own responsibility.
• There is sufficient insurance cover.
• Other relevant authorities also have no objections to the event.

It may be the case that further requirements must be met - this depends primarily on the type of event and the local conditions. The road traffic authority responsible for the licence will inform you of this.

• depending on the size of the event: EUR 10.20 to EUR 767.00
• for larger events with exceptionally high administrative costs: EUR 767.00 to EUR 2,301

You can apply for authorisation informally.

• Submit your application in writing or by fax.
• You can also obtain a non-binding form from the responsible department - depending on what the authority offers, you can also download it from their website.
• If problems arise, the road traffic authority will contact the organiser and the other departments affected by the planned event (road traffic authorities, nature conservation authorities) and the police and work out the permit together with them.
• The decision in the form of the permit (including requirements and conditions) will be communicated to you as the organiser in writing.

usually two months

• If the event begins in another federal state and leads to Saxony, the licensing authority of the other federal state is responsible. The Landesamt für Straßenbau und Verkehr (Saxony) will be involved in their decision.
• If the event only takes place on the territory of the Free State of Saxony, the locally responsible road traffic authority at the district office or city administration of the independent city in whose territory the event begins is responsible.
