Restrictions and Disorders
Map of restrictions and disorders in Bratislava
The map shows permitted restrictions, excavations and reported disorders on local roads of I. and II. class and on public spaces that are under the administration of the capital city (list of roads maintained by the city of Bratislava ↗︎).
Restrictions
Excavation, which also includes partial or complete closure of roads, sidewalks, or bicycle infrastructure, thus representing a restriction for residents.
Digups
Planned construction works on roads and in public space. The impact on residents is less than with restrictions.
Disorders
Disorder of the engineering network (line), which is reported to the city by the manager or owner of the line within 12 hours of its occurrence. For example, a fault in the water or gas pipeline.
Use of Public Space
Restrictions and digups are an use of public space, in which it is important that we follow the set rules.
If you are planning to occupy a public space, which is a road (road, sidewalk, square, roadside greenery) in the administration and ownership of the capital, it will be a special use of roads. When occupying a public space outside the roads, you will ask the capital city, as the owner of the land, for consent to use the public space.
Find out more information about use of public space, the necessary attachments to the application and which department will process it.
Problem due to construction work in public space?
Report it directly to the Inspection Office, Department of Traffic Permits, which can then respond quickly and efficiently to the situation.

Development of the CityBudget of the capital city of Bratislava
Bratislava, 12 December 2024 – From the items discussed at the final meeting of the capital city’s municipal council this year, the most closely watched was the draft of next year’s budget for Bratislava, which the city council members approved today. Despite the ongoing complicated situation and the impact of the government’s so-called “consolidation package”, the capital city’s budget was successfully set for a gradual reduction of debt, without affecting the standard of existing maintenance and services that have the greatest impact on the quality of life of the city’s residents. The submitted budget contains no increases in fees, and property taxes will also not increase. The city at the same time will continue to implement several projects that will contribute to improving the quality of life and competitiveness of Bratislava as a modern European capital.

Development of the CityVazovova, Mudroňova – more safety (not only) for children
Bratislava, 4 September 2024 – Every parent knows the so-called “school armageddon” very well – the morning rush, stress and manoeuvres that take place in the small space in front of the school, where many children, many parents and many cars are in motion. Complicated and dangerous situations regularly arise particularly around schools in the morning and afternoon hours. This is why we began to address these situations within the City for Children project. We are not just pulling changes out of the thin air. We have listened a lot during this process – to parents, teachers, neighbourhood residents and the children themselves – because they know the situation best. This is exactly how the spaces in front of the elementary schools on Vazovova and Mudroňova Streets were transformed, thanks to which the safety of children around these schools has been fundamentally improved. With a new approach to making changes in public spaces, we were also able, through participation and the implementation of temporary modifications, to transform these places in one year from their original state into a high-quality permanent solution, which has proven itself in both cases.

Development of the CityChanges in tourist transport before the summer season
Bratislava, 22 April 2024 – Tourism in Bratislava has revived since the pandemic. Data thus far show that the number of visitors is returning to the figures from the record year of 2019, when more than 7 million tourists visited Bratislava. High traffic in the capital naturally creates pressure for local transport, however. In order to improve the accessibility of Bratislava for tourists, we have made several changes related to tourist transport before this year’s season. We have expanded the number of stops for tourist buses that are connected directly with the historic city centre, and we have also adopted measures to prevent tourist buses from blocking the flow of the city’s public transport.
