[OSM-talk] SOTM-EU 2014 visitors by car from outside of Germany: environment stickers

[steggink at steggink.org]

Hi,

For those who are coming by car to SOTM-EU 2014 in Karlsruhe, and  
especially for those who do not come from Germany, please be aware  
that in many cities you need an environmental sticker. See [1] for  
more information, and see [2] for a basic map. It also includes the  
conference area.

Nowadays, you need a green sticker for Karlsruhe, so if you currently  
have a yellow or even a red one, you're out of luck.

My experience is that at a TüV-office it is no problem to get a  
sticker for a foreign car. It took only 15 to 30 minutes or so. If you  
apply for a sticker in your own country, it might take a little  
longer, so your best bet is to look for a TüV-office in Germany.

Regards,

Frank
