Traffic Permits

When do I need to apply for a permit?

You need to ask the city for a permit if you need to install traffic signs (temporary or permanent, vertical or horizontal) on local roads or private land (e.g. private car park)

Processing your application will be quicker if you submit completed application:

You need to apply for a permit for:

• Reserved parking
• Road excavations works
• Road closures
• Construction work

• The city issues ONLY the permit. The traffic signs and their installation need to be arranged by the applicant.
• For installation of road signs and street furniture you need a valid permit. The permit is valid as soon as it is posted on the city's website.
• The issued permit becomes invalid if the placement of road markings and street furniture is not completed within the specified time period.

Bez majetkovoprávneho usporiadania pozemkov pod pozemnou komunikáciou (navrhnutou na zaradenie do siete miestnych ciest) v prospech hlavného mesta SR Bratislavy, nie je možné predmetnú pozemnú komunikáciu zaradiť do siete miestnych ciest. Majetkovoprávne vzťahy vybavuje v samostatnom procese Sekcia správy nehnuteľností magistrátu.

Každá pozemná komunikácia, ktorá je navrhnutá na zaradenie do siete miestnych ciest, musí byť bezodplatne prevedená do majetku hlavného mesta SR Bratislavy.

• Prevod nových stavieb pozemných komunikácií do majetku mesta vybavuje v samostatnom procese oddelenie geodetických činností magistrátu – prosíme kontaktujte v danom prípade toto oddelenie pre dalšie informácie – a tiež prevod pozemných komunikácií, ktoré boli skolaudované v minulosti, ale neboli zatriedené do siete miestnych ciest.

Pozemnú komunikáciu je možné zaradiť do siete miestnych ciest I. II. III. a IV. triedy a to na základe jej parametrov.

• Ak bude miestna cesta zaradená do siete miestnych ciest ako cesta I. alebo II. triedy, jej vlastníkom a správcom bude hlavné mesto SR Bratislava.
• Ak bude miestna cesta zaradená do siete miestnych ciest ako cesta III. alebo IV. triedy, jej vlastníkom bude hlavné mesto SR Bratislava a správcom príslušná mestská časť.

K tomu je potrebné získať Záväzné stanovisko príslušnej mestskej časti k budúcej správe predmetnej pozemnej komunikácie.
