This revision, approved by the Director-General in consultation with the Staff Association, clarifies the intended use of parking facilities and introduces limitations on parking duration.\n\nUnder the new guidelines, parking facilities are primarily designated for individuals engaging in official CERN activities. The maximum authorized parking duration for such personnel is set at five consecutive working days. However, for those traveling for duty purposes, a longer parking period may be arranged with the Registration and Access Control Service in designated long-stay parking areas.\n\nIn contrast, individuals accessing the CERN site for non-official activities are subject to a stricter limit of three hours of parking time. The updated document came into effect on August 1, 2026 and can be accessed via the provided link.",
