17 Parking and parking fees
While
diplomatic vehicles are generally considered to be inviolable, they may not
obstruct traffic or endanger public safety. Diplomatic vehicles are subject to
Norwegian parking laws and regulations, and their owners are held responsible
for parking violations. This applies to all street parking, with the exception
of the areas which have been marked in front of or close to embassy buildings
in Oslo.
Missions
are expected to respect the local municipal parking regulations. The Ministry
of Foreign Affairs will, under normal circumstances, not involve itself in
matters relating to parking fees. Please note that many parking areas are
private.
A
special parking area on Victoria
terrasse, close to the main entrance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is
reserved for diplomatic vehicles.
