No-Stopping Zone Reinickendorf
Overview of applications, costs and signs for temporary no-stopping zones in Berlin.
Getting a no-stopping zone (Halteverbot) in Reinickendorf costs a minimum of € 21 and takes about 4 weeks. The Road Traffic Authority (Straßenverkehrsbehörde) at Reinickendorf district office processes your application by email. Here you'll find all the important contacts and steps for your order.
How to Apply
You submit your application to the Road Traffic Authority at Reinickendorf district office by email. The authority issues the traffic order and sends it to you. You need to organize the traffic signs separately through a construction site safety company.
Here's what to do:
1. Write an informal application (formloser Antrag) by email to the Road Traffic Authority
2. Specify the exact location and time period for the no-stopping zone
3. Briefly explain why you need the no-stopping zone
4. Wait for the traffic order from the authority
5. Organize the traffic signs through a specialized company
Important documents for your application:
- Informal application with your contact details
- Exact address and description of the desired area
- Time period for the no-stopping zone (from-to dates)
- Brief reason for the no-stopping zone
Costs
The minimum fee is € 21 for the traffic order. Processing time is about 4 weeks from when your complete application is received. Actual costs may be higher depending on the scope and duration of the no-stopping zone.
These factors affect the fees:
- Size of the no-stopping zone area
- Duration of the order (few days to several weeks)
- Street location (main road or side street)
- Additional traffic regulations or special requirements
Note that traffic sign costs are extra. You organize these through a construction site safety company and pay them directly.
Signs
The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order. You must organize and pay for the traffic signs yourself through a construction site safety company. These companies deliver the signs and install them professionally.
Signs must be placed 72 hours before the no-stopping zone begins. The company you hire knows this rule and plans accordingly. You'll receive the official order from the authority, which you must show to the company.
Important points for sign installation:
- Install at least 3 full days before validity starts
- Signs must be clearly visible and unambiguously positioned
- Follow exact times and dates on the signs
- Organize immediate replacement if damaged or stolen
Moving
A no-stopping zone makes sense when you want to park a moving truck right outside your door. Parking spaces are often scarce in densely populated areas of Reinickendorf. Plan at least 5 to 6 weeks lead time for the entire process.
Calculate the zone size generously, as you usually need 2 to 3 parking spaces for a moving truck. Apply for the no-stopping zone for the entire moving day, even if you only need a few hours. Same-day extensions are usually not possible and cost extra fees.
