No-Stopping Zone Neukölln

In Neukölln you need a permit if you want to set up a no-stopping zone. Here you can read where to submit the application, what documents are necessary, what fees apply and what you need to know about the signs.

How to apply for

In Neukölln, you apply for the no-stopping zone at the Road Traffic Authority (SVB) in the Neukölln Roads and Green Spaces Office. The district in which you need the no-stopping zone is always responsible.

To submit an application, use the online form from the city of Berlin. Or you can submit an informal application, for example by email or by post:

• Neukölln District Office
  Road Traffic Authority (SVB) in the Roads and Green Spaces Office
  Gradestrasse 36, 12347 Berlin
• Telephone (030) 90239-2022
• Email svb@bezirksamt-neukoelln.de

Write clearly where the no-stopping zone should be, for which days and for what purpose, for example moving or delivery. In the informal application you state your name, your address and your contact details. You provide the exact address of the no-stopping zone, if possible with house numbers and the side of the street. If necessary, add a simple sketch or description to help the agency easily identify the area. You can find out more about applying at Apply for a no-stopping zone in Berlin.

Costs

In Neukölln, applying for a no-stopping zone costs at least 21 euros fee. The exact fee depends on the extent and duration of the no-stopping zone. If you close a larger route or several days, it will be more expensive. The minimum fee covers simple cases with a small area and a short duration. Higher costs arise, for example, for long no-parking stretches or repeated changes. For detailed information about your case, please contact the Neukölln Road Traffic Authority directly.

The processing time in Neukölln is approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Plan enough time and submit the application early. If documents are missing or information is unclear, processing may be further delayed.

Signs

The Neukölln road traffic authority only decides on traffic regulations. The authority does not provide no-stopping zone signs. You must get the signs yourself, for example through a construction site security or traffic safety company.

The signs must be put up in good time before the no-no-stopping zone begins. In Berlin the rule is usually: The signs should be up several days in advance so that other people can repark their vehicles. Follow the instructions in your notice and, if in doubt, ask the authorities.

Note: Common errors include incorrectly placed or difficult to read signs. Make sure that the date, time and direction of the no-stopping zone are clearly visible. Place signs so that they are not obscured by trees, construction sites or parked cars.

Moving & construction work

A no-stopping zone is often very useful when moving to Neukölln. A reserved area is particularly helpful in narrow streets or in areas with many parked cars. This means the moving truck can be closer to the front door and the move goes faster.

Plan the size of the no-stopping zone based on the length of the vehicle. You usually need space for the moving truck and some maneuvering space in front of and behind it. In the application, indicate how many meters you would like to close and on which side of the street.

Submit the application early because processing in Neukölln takes 3 to 4 weeks. Don’t book the moving date safely until you have approval. Organize the signs in a timely manner and put them up on time so that the no-parking policy is effective when moving.
