From Thursday, August 11, 2022 to Sunday, August 21, 2022, the European Championships 2022 will take place in Munich and other districts with many different venues.

Therefore, during this period, especially on the two Sundays, August 14, 2022 and August 21, 2022, there may be significant traffic obstructions in southern and western Upper Bavaria and in Munich.

On these days, professional cycle races take place starting from Murnau am Staffelsee and from Landsberg am Lech.

Both road bike races end in Munich at Odeonsplatz after several laps have been completed in the state capital.

Furthermore, a triathlon between Dachau and the Munich Olympic Park will take place on August 14th, 2022, which will also result in considerable traffic obstructions in this area.

In order to ensure both safety and the smoothest possible road traffic, more than 1,000 police officers are on duty in addition to the organizer's security forces.

For a trouble-free, unhindered and safe implementation of the cycle race, stopping bans must be set up both on the cycle course and in the rest of the city area.

We ask that these traffic regulations, which can be seen a few days in advance, be taken into account.

Vehicles parked along the cycle track must be towed away.

Please note that the vehicles will be removed before the start of the sporting events so that the respective construction measures can be guaranteed.

In order to save you the costs of the warning on the one hand and considerable costs and effort due to towing on the other hand, we ask you to comply with these stopping restrictions.

If you are on vacation, make sure that someone (friends, neighbors) has a look at your parked car every three days at the latest and can move it if necessary.

The route of the two road bike races as well as the triathlon and further details can be found on the organizer's website https://www.munich2022.com/de/anwohnerinfo.

If you have any questions, your local police station or the organization team of the European Championships 2022 will be happy to help you at info@munich2022.com.
