Mainz digitized: Report traffic violations online now!

From June 19, 2025, citizens can expect a fundamental innovation to deal with traffic administrative offenses inside. In the future, private ads can only be submitted digitally in dormant traffic. The city of Mainz has introduced a new online service that enables citizens to report various traffic violations, such as parking in the absolute ban on stopping, on walking or cycle paths, as well as in fire brigade accesses or in disabled parking spaces, easily via the Internet. The previous procedure of the informal written private ad is the past, such as Kommune21

With this digital solution, the city not only promises an improvement in the citizen service, but also a higher efficiency in processing the advertisements. Via the new registration portal, violations can be forwarded directly to the responsible authorities. It is very clear that email or post messages are no longer taken into account. All incoming messages are checked and evaluated by the traffic monitoring, but there is no right to feedback on the state of processing or the result of the procedure, as [BYC News] (https://byc-news.de/mainz/stadt-Mainz-verkehrsverstoesse-ab-sfort-online-ads
