Requesting a traffic waiver
What is it?
Sometimes you need an exemption if you want to do something on or to the public road. For example, if you want to place a moving van or crane on the road (whereby the road is partially closed), erect structures, organize bike rides or events. You apply for an exemption for this from the road authority.
To whom should I apply for a waiver?

- For roads under the management of the water board: the water board
- For other public roads: the municipality
