Questão jurídica principal
Whether a municipality has standing under § 12(1) VRG to appeal traffic measures concerning municipal roads.
Decisão extraída
Yes. Where the contested traffic measure concerns a municipal road, it affects the municipality's autonomous sphere because it concerns the use and design of its public property and the municipality is materially involved in adopting such measures.
Fundamentação extraída
Traffic measures under Art. 3(2) and Art. 32(3) SVG are an application of federal law, so autonomy is not generally implicated for cantonal roads. But for municipal roads the measure concerns property owned by the municipality, possible construction and maintenance costs, and the municipality itself issues the measure while the cantonal authority only approves it. That creates a sufficient link to municipal autonomy for standing.
