## Processing Time

* **Minor roadworks** are measures that do not interfere with the carriageway. Pedestrian and cycle traffic can be safely routed on the remaining width of the footpath or cycle path. It currently takes up to 2 weeks to process applications for this.
* **Medium to large roadworks** exceed the scope of smaller roadworks. Processing currently takes 6 to 8 weeks.

The processing times stated correspond to the status as of 20 December 2024.

The processing time is shorter if you already have a permit and only need to subsequently extend or postpone the period. However, the processing time may be longer if

* there is a conflict with other uses
* the involvement of other authorities is required,
* Measures exceed a duration of 3 months,
* Excavations have to be carried out or
* Parking ticket machines with power connections have to be dismantled (currently plus 12 weeks).

* Bavarian Road and Highway Act

* Special utilisation fee statutes

## Questions and Answers

 
### How much noise can my construction site generate?

 

According to the Federal Immission Control Act, anyone operating construction sites must prevent avoidable noise, limit the spread of unavoidable noise and protect the neighbourhood from noise pollution. There are guide values for different areas and for day and night times. Please find out about the applicable [noise protection regulations](https://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtverwaltung/Referat-fuer-Gesundheit-und-Umwelt/Laerm/Regelungen.html).

   
### Can I hang advertising on my site fence?

 

advertising on construction fences is permitted without a permit if it relates solely to the company working on the construction site and does not exceed an area of one square metre. More extensive advertising measures require a [permit for advertising installations](https://www.muenchen.de/dienstleistungsfinder/muenchen/1073940/).  


   
### What do I need to bear in mind if my construction site is located in a pedestrian zone?
