Abstract

A braking system for a vehicle that includes at least one vehicle wheel and a friction brake associated with the vehicle wheel. The friction brake acts during an operation state of the vehicle and/or while the vehicle is in a parked state. The braking system includes an additional mechanical locking device for the vehicle wheel. The mechanical locking device secures the vehicle wheel in a form-fitting manner when the vehicle is in the parked state to prevent the vehicle wheel from rolling.
