Route Obligation Exemption for Transport of Dangerous Goods

For the transport of dangerous goods by road, specific routes are designated under the Wet vervoer gevaarlijke stoffen. Vehicles carrying hazardous materials must follow these mandatory routes for loading and unloading. If your transport requires using roads outside the designated routes, you must obtain a route obligation exemption from the municipality.

This exemption is typically needed by logistics companies, fuel distributors, and chemical transporters making deliveries to locations not directly on the mandatory routes. You apply at the municipality where the deviation takes place, specifying the route, substance class, and duration.
