Costs

The fee in Reinickendorf is at least 21 euros. This minimum fee applies to simple no-stopping zones with a short duration and a small area. The exact amount always depends on the scope and duration of the arrangement. If you need a longer no-stopping zone, it can be more expensive. A very long stretch of road or several places can also trigger additional costs.

The road traffic authority calculates the fee based on the effort it takes to issue traffic regulations. The processing time in Reinickendorf is about 4 weeks. Plan enough time and submit the application early. Otherwise you may not get approval in time for your appointment.

Signs

The road traffic authority only issues the traffic law order for the no-stopping zone. You must get the no-stopping zone signs yourself. This is often done by construction site security companies or traffic sign rental companies.

Ask the rental company whether the company also puts up the signs. Many companies know the rules in Berlin very well. The signs must be up in good time before the no-parking period begins. This gives other drivers enough time to repark their cars.

A common mistake: the signs are too late or in the wrong place. Then the no-stopping zone may not be effective. Pay attention to the exact house number, side of the street and the number of meters in the zone. It is best to take photos of the posted signs with the date.

Moving & construction work

When moving to Reinickendorf, a no-stopping zone is often very worthwhile. This means the moving truck and the helpers have enough space in front of the door. This saves time and makes the move safer.

Plan the size of the no-stopping zone based on the length of the vehicle. Two to three parking spaces are often enough for a normal moving truck. If the streets are very narrow or there are multiple vehicles, you may need more space. Write this need in your application to the traffic authority.

Apply for the no-stopping zone for the move early. In Reinickendorf, processing takes around 4 weeks. Allow a few additional days for the signs to be put up. Speak to the rental company in good time so that everything is clear on moving day.
