AES Munich 2009 - How To Get To The M,O,C,

By car

The M,O,C, is perfectly linked to the German motorway system and therefore easy to reach by car: From the A9 motorway take the exit München-Freimann, turn into Heidemannstrasse and, after about 500 m, turn left into Lilienthalallee.

A 9 motorway: The complete superstructures of the Freimann bridge are currently being rebuilt. Please remember to set off for M,O,C, in good time and take note of the latest traffic reports.

Via navigation system to the M,O,C,:

Depending on the navigation system you are using, you'll find the M,O,C, in the category "Ausstellungsgelände" (show grounds) or under the keyword "MOC".

When coming from Munich, simply follow the road signs to M,O,C, - these will guide you to the M,O,C,. There is parking space for 1,500 cars in the underground garage at the M,O,C,.

Low emission zone Munich: Emissions sticker required to drive in downtown Munich

As of October 1, 2008, the city of Munich is a low emission zone. So-called Emissions Stickers (red, yellow or green) are required to drive in the low emission zone. This also applies to anyone visiting the city. Beginning in October 2008, all streets located inside the "Mittlerer Ring" are considered to be in the low emission zone, for which a sticker is required. The "Mittlerer Ring" itself is not in the low emission zone.

Due to this change, Messe München International and DEKRA have set up a service point for exhibitors and visitors. Emissions stickers may be purchased at DEKRA for EUR 5.00.

Information about the Green Zone

Ban on truck/lorry traffic in Munich
As part of the city of Munich's clean-air initiative, through traffic of trucks/lorries weighing more than 3.5 tons is no longer permitted in the city as of February 1, 2008. The ban concept calls for through traffic of trucks/lorries to be diverted to the A99 motorway. As a rule, roadblocks directly at the city limits will not be used. Instead, traffic will be diverted or rerouted by warning signs in outlying areas, by prohibitive signs within the city limits (sign 253 of the German road-traffic regulations with the addition "Lieferverkehr frei" (delivery vehicles only)) and by detour signs indicating the way to the nearest motorway.

Effect on vehicles making deliveries to the trade-fair center:
The vehicle ban expressly permits delivery vehicles whose point of origin or destination is within Munich. As a result, deliveries to and from the M,O,C, are not affected by the vehicle ban. However, trucks/lorries whose destinations are outside of Munich may not take the A9 motorway toward Munich when leaving the M,O,C, because doing so would make them "through traffic".
