The method includes: receiving motor vehicle setting signals, which represent a setting of a motor vehicle that intends to travel into a restricted geographic region; receiving entry condition signals, which represent an entry condition that must be satisfied, so that a motor vehicle may travel into the region; based upon the motor vehicle setting, checking if the entry condition for the motor vehicle is satisfied; generating remote control signals for controlling the motor vehicle remotely, based on a result of the check as to whether the entry condition is satisfied; and outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium are also provided.
