No-Stopping Zone Lichtenberg
Overview of applications, costs and signs for temporary no-stopping zones in Berlin.
Getting a no-stopping zone (Halteverbot) in Lichtenberg costs a minimum of € 21 and takes about 3 weeks. The Streets and Green Spaces Office (Straßen- und Grünflächenamt) Lichtenberg processes your application by email. Here you'll find all important contacts and the necessary steps.
How to Apply
You submit your application by email to the Road Traffic Authority (Straßenverkehrsbehörde) at the Streets and Green Spaces Office Lichtenberg. The authority only issues the traffic order for the no-stopping zone. You must arrange the traffic signs separately through a construction site safety company.
How to apply for a no-stopping zone:
1. Write an informal application (formloser Antrag) by email to svb@lichtenberg.berlin.de
2. Specify the exact location and desired duration
3. Describe the reason for the no-stopping zone (for example moving)
4. Wait for the authority's response with the order
5. Organize the traffic signs through a specialized company
For your application you need:
- Exact address and street section
- Desired duration of the no-stopping zone
- Justification (moving, construction, event)
- Your contact details for follow-up questions
Costs
The minimum fee is € 21 and can increase depending on the size of the zone. The Streets and Green Spaces Office Lichtenberg calculates costs based on size and duration. Processing your application takes about 3 weeks from receipt.
The costs depend on various factors:
- Length of the street section
- Duration of the no-stopping zone
- Number of affected parking spaces
- Special circumstances on site
In addition to the fee for the order, you'll have costs for traffic signs. You organize these yourself through a construction site safety company or sign rental service. Signs usually cost between € 50 and € 150 depending on the provider.
Signs
You must organize and set up the traffic signs yourself. The Streets and Green Spaces Office only issues the traffic order for the no-stopping zone. Commission a construction site safety company or sign rental service for delivery. Signs must be placed at least 72 hours before the no-stopping zone begins.
Important rules for signs:
- Placement at least 72 hours before validity
- Use of traffic signs 283 or 286
- Signs must be clearly visible and securely mounted
- For longer stretches, place multiple signs
- Remove signs immediately after the no-stopping zone ends
Appointments for sign installation are possible by email or phone. Many companies offer complete service with delivery, setup and collection. Plan sign organization early, as popular dates book up quickly.
Moving
A no-stopping zone makes sense when you want to park a moving truck directly in front of your door. Especially in densely built areas of Lichtenberg, parking spaces are often scarce. The no-stopping zone guarantees you free parking spots for moving day and saves time carrying items.
Plan the no-stopping zone at least 4 weeks before your moving date. Processing takes about 3 weeks and signs must be placed 72 hours beforehand. Apply for a zone of 15 to 25 meters length for a normal moving truck. For larger moves or multiple vehicles, you can also apply for longer sections.
Consider the costs of at least € 21 for the order plus sign costs. Alternative options are public loading zones or private parking spaces, if these are available nearby.
