Parking large vehicle or camping equipment

You want to park your camping equipment within a built-up area for more than 3 days. Or you may have to temporarily park a large vehicle within a built-up area, other than in the designated areas. You need permission (parking permit) for this. You apply for this with DigiD or eHerkenning.

What do you need to know

You need a parking permit for:

  • Parking with parking ban
  • Parking large vehicles (longer than 6 meters or higher than 2,40 meters, including load), for example a truck, moving van or crane, other than in the designated areas (see the heading 'Large Vehicles')
  • Parking a camping equipment, for example a caravan or camper, or trailer, if you want to park for more than 3 days

Parking on roadsides, parks and public gardens is prohibited.

Large vehicles

  • Large vehicles are not allowed to park within built-up areas, except in designated areas:
    • New Havenweg
    • 1st Loswal
    • 2st Loswal
    • Zuiderloswal
    • Extended Zuiderloswal
    • Franciscusweg, with the exception of the first 100 meters from Kerkelandenlaan
  • You may park in the above places for a maximum of 3 days in a row
  • A vehicle is large like this: 
    • is 6 meters or longer
    • And/or is higher than 2,4 meters
  • If you need to park a large vehicle in a location other than the above locations (for example for work), you must request an exemption.

Camping gear

  • A camping vehicle is a vehicle that is used for recreation or for purposes other than traffic, for example a camper or caravan
  • You may park your camping equipment within built-up areas for a maximum of 3 days in a row
  • Always moving the camping equipment is not allowed
  • If you want to park for more than 3 days, you can request a parking exemption

Treatment request

  • Not every parking exemption is given
  • If your application shows that a temporary traffic measure is needed, such as a traffic plan (diversion, signs), the municipality will contact you within 2 working days. This application takes a maximum of 4 weeks
  • For a simple request, such as a moving van or longer parking for your camping equipment: 5 working days before you know whether you will receive the parking exemption
  • Add a clear situation sketch. For example, an image from Google maps of the top view. You then draw the vehicle with the dimensions
  • A document in which you describe the work and information about the vehicle (type, number of axles and weight, etc.) or other useful information
