TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT

Free public transport to and from Gelderlandplein with the Gelderlandplein line. In contrast to the rest of Amsterdam, the Zuidas has a free extensive public transport service, consisting of the lines 461, 463 and 464. The free service has been brought about in part by the Kroonenberg Group.

The Gelderlandplein lines run every day except on nationally recognised public holidays. Because of the Corona measures, there are fewer passengers and therefore line 461 to/from Zuidas runs less frequently. When there are more passengers from April 2021, the frequency to/from Zuidas will be increased to every 10 minutes. For current departure times (timetable), please visit GVB.nl

Zuidasdok

Zuidas is developing rapidly. In the coming years, the area will have thousands of new homes and a quarter more office space. More than 200,000 motorists already use the A10 Zuid motorway every day and more than 100,000 passengers take the train or metro at Amsterdam-Zuid station. These numbers will increase sharply until 2030. Precisely to improve the accessibility of Zuidas and the northern

Randstad, and thus contribute to the continued growth of Zuidas, investments are being made in the Zuidasdok.

Parking permit for residents

You can apply for the permit at one of the City Offices, in writing or online at www.amsterdam.nl/parkeren-verkeer/parkeervergunning.

Conditions: n You must be registered in Amsterdam in the Personal Records Database (BRP) at the address where you live. The permit is only valid in the area where you live. n You must have a car registered in your name (or a lease or company car, rental car, camper van, moped, Canta or motorbike). n You must have a vehicle that meets the environmental requirements. n You will not receive a permit if your home has a parking space. Ask the seller or lessor if this is the case. You cannot apply for a parking permit if you have or had the opportunity to buy or rent your own parking space. This does not include a parking space for the disabled. See below for the exception to this rule. n At some addresses, you will not receive a parking permit. This often concerns (future) new construction projects and area developments. n There is always a maximum number of permits per address. n You have to live in an area where the municipality still issues parking permits. An overview of these areas can be found in the street search. In some areas, instead of a parking permit, you can apply for a waiver for blue zones.

Parking permit for companies

You can apply for the permit at one of the City Offices, in writing or online at www.amsterdam.nl/parkeren-verkeer/parkeervergunning.

Conditions: n Your company must be located in an area where paid parking applies. The permit is only valid in this area. n Your company must be registered in the Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce.

The address in the Chamber of Commerce must correspond with the address for which you are applying for the permit. n You may not have your own parking space. n Newly-built business premises no longer receive a permit for parking on the street, regardless of the availability of parking spaces on private property.

At a number of addresses, permits for residents or companies can no longer be issued. An overview of these addresses (the “nulplafond”) can be found at www.amsterdam.nl/parkeren-verkeer/ parkeervergunning/vergunninggebied.

Parking permit for disabled residents

With your European disabled parking card, you can apply for the Amsterdam parking permit for disabled residents free of charge. There are two versions of the card: driver and passenger. When you apply, you must indicate whether you are a driver or a passenger. This depends on the type of European disabled parking card that you have. It is not possible to apply for both types. You can apply for the permit at one of the City Offices, in writing or online at www.amsterdam.nl/parkeren-verkeer/ parkeervergunning.

Wheel clamp

When you have five or more outstanding parking tickets for one licence plate, the municipality can place one or two wheel clamps on your car at any time. The municipality removes the wheel clamp when you have paid all outstanding parking tickets, plus any follow-up costs and the costs of the wheel clamp. The cost of removing a wheel clamp is EUR 194 (rates 2021) plus all your outstanding parking tickets.

Payment When you have a wheel clamp, please contact the municipality on 020 - 251 3787 (daily from 9.00 am to 9.00 pm). Someone will then come to your place so you can pay the parking tickets on the spot by debit or credit card. You must pay the full amount at once. It is not possible to make any further payment arrangements.

Towed vehicle

If your parked vehicle is blocking traffic, causing an unsafe situation or is parked in the wrong place, the municipality can tow it away. To check whether your vehicle has indeed been towed away, you should call the municipality of Amsterdam on 14 020. This number is available 24 hours a day for towed vehicles.

You can collect your towed vehicle from Enforcement and Supervision (Handhaving en Toezicht) at Daniël Goedkoopstraat 9, 1096 BD Amsterdam, telephone 14020 (open 24 hours a day). You must bring your valid identity document. You can only pay with debit or with credit card. When you pick up your vehicle, you pay the costs of the towing and storage. You pay EUR 373 (rates 2021) if you come to pick up the car within 24 hours. If you do not pick up the car, EUR 30 per 24 hours of storage costs will be added after the first 24 hours.

Was your car towed away because you had a wheel clamp? Then in addition to the outstanding tickets, you also pay the costs of the wheel clamp (EUR 192), the towing (EUR 373) and any storage costs (EUR 30 per 24 hours extra) after 24 hours. You always have to pay the towing and storage costs before you get your vehicle back.
