No-Stopping Zone Neukoelln
Overview of applications, costs and signs for temporary no-stopping zones in Berlin.
Getting an Order for a temporary no-stopping zone (Halteverbot) in Neukölln costs a minimum of € 21 and takes 3 to 4 weeks. The Road Traffic Authority (Straßenverkehrsbehörde) at the Streets and Green Spaces Office Neukölln processes your application by email. Here you'll find all important contacts and steps for your application.
How to Apply
You submit your application to the Road Traffic Authority at the Streets and Green Spaces Office Neukölln. Send your application by email to svb@bezirksamt-neukoelln.de. Online applications are not available in Neukölln.
How to apply for a no-stopping zone step by step:
1. Write an informal application (formloser Antrag) with all important details
2. Specify the exact location and time period for the no-stopping zone
3. Explain the reason for the no-stopping zone (for example moving or construction)
4. Send the application by email to svb@bezirksamt-neukoelln.de
5. Wait for the authority's response with the traffic order (Anordnung)
Your application needs these details:
- Your complete contact information (name, address, phone, email)
- Exact address and street section for the no-stopping zone
- Desired time period (date and time from-to)
- Reason for the no-stopping zone
- Number of parking spaces needed
Costs
The minimum fee is € 21 for a basic no-stopping zone. Processing takes 3 to 4 weeks from when your application is received. The final fee depends on various factors.
These factors affect the costs:
- Length of the street section for the no-stopping zone
- Duration of the no-stopping zone (hours, days or weeks)
- Location of the street (main road or side street)
- Number of affected parking spaces
The authority will tell you the exact fee with the traffic order. You pay only after receiving the order, not when submitting your application.
Signs
The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order for the no-stopping zone. You must get the traffic signs separately from the Special Use Department at the Streets and Green Spaces Office. Contact the department by email at sondernutzung@bezirksamt-neukoelln.de.
The Special Use Department's office hours are Tuesdays from 9:00 to 12:00. You can find the department in Room 4 of the Streets and Green Spaces Office Neukölln. Signs must be placed 72 hours before the no-stopping zone begins.
Important rules for no-stopping zone signs:
- Signs must be up for at least 3 full days before validity
- Installation is done by a specialist company or district administration
- Signs must be clearly visible and safely secured
- Signs must be removed after the no-stopping zone ends
Moving
A no-stopping zone makes sense when you want to park a moving truck directly in front of your home. Parking spaces are often hard to find in densely built areas of Neukölln. Plan at least 4 to 5 weeks lead time for your moving application.
For a normal household move, 2 to 3 parking spaces for one day are usually enough. For larger moves or longer loading times, you can also apply for several days. Remember that the moving company needs to know the exact times and vehicle size.
