No-Stopping Zone Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf

You submit your application by email to the Road Traffic Authority at Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf District Office (Bezirksamt). The authority is part of the Streets and Green Spaces Office and handles all traffic regulations for the district. Online applications are not available in this district. How to apply for a no-stopping zone step by step:

1. Write an informal email (formloser Antrag) to svb@charlottenburg-wilmersdorf.de
2. Specify the exact location and time period for the no-stopping zone
3. Provide reasons for your application (for example moving or construction)
4. Wait for the Road Traffic Authority's response with the traffic order

Your application needs these details:

• Exact address and street section for the no-stopping zone
• Desired time period with start and end dates
• Reason for the no-stopping zone (moving, construction, event)
• Your complete contact details for follow-up questions

The minimum fee is € 21 for a traffic order. The actual costs depend on the scope and duration of the no-stopping zone. Private individuals wait 6 to 10 weeks for processing, companies only about 1 week. The fee can increase due to various factors:

• Length of the street section (more meters = higher costs)
• Duration of the no-stopping zone (longer time = higher fee)
• Special circumstances like main roads or complicated traffic situations
• Additional regulations like through-traffic bans or turning possibilities

The Road Traffic Authority informs you about the exact fee amount before issuing the order. You pay only after receiving the fee notice, not when submitting your application.

The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order for the no-stopping zone. You must obtain and install the traffic signs yourself, for example through a construction site safety company. The signs must be in place at least 72 hours before the no-stopping zone begins. You can collect the signs personally from the Streets and Green Spaces Office, appointments are not possible:

• Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
• Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM
• The office is closed Wednesdays and Fridays
• Bring the traffic order as proof

Common mistakes when installing signs can lead to invalid no-stopping zones. The signs must be clearly visible and properly spaced, otherwise drivers can successfully appeal parking tickets.

A no-stopping zone makes sense when you need to park a moving truck directly in front of your building. Many streets in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf have heavy traffic and limited parking, especially in neighborhoods like around Savignyplatz. Plan at least 8 weeks lead time for your moving date. For a normal move, 2 to 3 parking spaces for the moving truck are usually sufficient. Also consider that your moving helpers may need to park their own vehicles. The costs of at least € 21 are often cheaper than parking tickets or the risk of the moving truck having to park far away. Apply for the no-stopping zone early, as processing time for private individuals is 6 to 10 weeks. Companies receive faster processing, but it's best to hire a moving company that handles all permits.
