Transportation of dangerous goods; application for a special permit, route determination and other

The State Ministry of Housing, Building and Transport is responsible for

• the granting of exemptions in accordance with § 5 Para. 1 No. 1 GGVSEB in road traffic,
• the granting of exemptions in accordance with Section 5 (1) No. 2 GGVSEB in rail transport for non-federally owned railroads,
• the granting of exemptions in accordance with Section 5 (1) No. 3 GGVSEB for inland navigation on navigable inland waterways that are not federal waterways,
• the issuing of general rulings on route determination in accordance with Section 35a (3) sentence 2 GGVSEB and
• authorization to continue carriage in accordance with 1.4.2.2.4 of the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR).

For determining the route for transportation

• flammable gases of class 2 according to § 35b table no. 2 GGVSEB and
• flammable liquid substances of class 3 according to § 35b table no. 4 GGVSEB

a general ruling was issued in Bavaria, which can be accessed under "Legal bases". The conditions of this general ruling must be complied with for the transportation in question, whereby no additional official route regulations are required.

For the transportation of all other dangerous goods for which a route determination is required in accordance with the provisions of § 35a in conjunction with § 35b GGVSEB, this route determination must be applied for from the locally competent district administrative authority before the start of transportation.

As a rule, two district administrative authorities act independently of each other upon request. The authority responsible for the place of loading determines the route between the place of loading and the highway, while the route from the highway to the place of unloading is determined by the authority responsible for the place of unloading. If a route runs through the areas of responsibility of several district administrative authorities, the competent district administrative authority shall involve the other district administrative authorities in determining the route.

The district administrative authorities are also responsible for

• the definition of loading and unloading points for vehicles or large containers that are transported as a closed load in accordance with the regulation in subsection 7.5.1.4 ADR,

• the receipt of notification of the loading or unloading of dangerous substances and articles at a place accessible to the public outside built-up areas in accordance with section 7.5.11 CV 1 paragraph 1 letter b and chapter 8.5 S 1 paragraph 4 letter b ADR,

• the granting of permission to load or unload dangerous substances and articles in a place accessible to the public within built-up areas and for the receipt of notification of these activities in accordance with section 7.5.11 CV 1 para. 1 letter a and chapter 8.5 S 1 para. 4 letter a ADR and

• the granting of approval for longer stops in the vicinity of residential areas or busy places in accordance with Chapter 8.5 S 8 Sentence 2 and S 9 Sentence 2 ADR.
