How to apply for

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

Costs

In Pankow, a no-stopping zone costs at least 21 euros in fees. The exact fee depends on the extent and duration of the no-stopping zone. If you need the no-stopping zone for longer or over a longer distance, the costs will increase. According to the district, the processing time in Pankow is approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Therefore, submit your application early. Plan enough buffer, especially for fixed dates such as moving or construction site. In addition to the arrangement fees, you usually also pay for the signs. These costs come from the company that supplies and installs the traffic signs. You should not ask the authorities about the prices for the signs, but rather directly from the company you choose.

Signs

The road traffic authority in the Pankow Roads and Green Spaces Office only issues traffic regulations. This means: The authority decides whether the no-stopping zone is permitted. You must get the No-Stopping Zone Signs yourself. For example, you can rent the traffic signs from a construction site security company. Moving companies often also offer this service. The company puts up the signs and picks them up again.

Clarify in advance whether the company would like to see the authority's order. In Berlin, the signs must be up in good time before the no-no-stopping zone begins. This gives other drivers enough time to drive their vehicles away.

Note: Common errors include signs erected too late, incorrect position or incorrect data on the additional signs. Therefore, check the date, time and side of the street carefully.

Moving & construction work

When moving in Pankow, a no-stopping zone is often very worthwhile. This means you can secure space right in front of your front door. This means the moving truck can be parked closer and the helpers can carry it less far.

Plan the size of the no-stopping zone based on the length of the vehicle. A normal moving truck often needs around two to three parking spaces. If the road is narrow or there are several vehicles coming, a longer zone may make sense. Describe the need as precisely as possible in your application.

You should apply for the no-stopping zone in Pankow early. Processing takes 6 to 8 weeks. So plan well in advance of the move. Also clarify with the moving company when the space needs to be free and how long the truck will stay parked.
