The road traffic authority determines the exact fee for your individual case. The costs usually depend on several points. For example, the length of the no-stopping zone, the duration and whether it is a simple street or a complicated traffic situation are important. The costs for setting up the signs are extra and you pay them to the sign company.

The processing time in Steglitz-Zehlendorf is approximately 6 weeks. Plan enough time and submit the application early. Particularly when moving or building work, you should pay attention to the deadline so that the order is received on time.

Signs

The road traffic authority only issues the traffic law order for the no-stopping zone. You have to get the traffic signs yourself. In Steglitz-Zehlendorf this is mostly done by construction site security or traffic sign rental companies. You enter into a contract directly with the company for the signs. The company brings the no-parking signs to the right place and picks them up later. You can find the contact details of such companies online, for example; they do not belong to the district office.

In Berlin the signs have to be up in good time before the start, often several days before. Ask the sign company for the exact deadlines, they know the usual times.

Common mistakes include signs posted too late, incorrect position or zone that is too short. If you park illegally, you often cannot be towed away and your move or delivery will be delayed.

Moving & construction work

When moving to Steglitz-Zehlendorf, a no-stopping zone is often worthwhile. This means the moving truck or van has a free space right in front of the door. This saves time, energy and often costs for the moving company.

Plan the size of the no-stopping zone based on the length of the vehicle. You need more space for a large truck than for a sprinter. Also think about maneuvering areas, entrances and intersections so that traffic continues to flow smoothly.

Submit the application in good time because processing in Steglitz-Zehlendorf often takes around 6 weeks. Allow a few additional days for the signs to be put up. Speak to the moving company early so that the date, time and parking restrictions match up well.
