No-Stopping Zone Steglitz-Zehlendorf

You submit your application by email to the Road Traffic Authority at Steglitz-Zehlendorf district office (Bezirksamt). The authority is part of the Streets and Green Spaces Office (Straßen- und Grünflächenamt) and processes all applications for temporary no-stopping zones. There is no online application in this district. How to apply for your no-stopping zone: 1. Send an informal email to svb@ba-sz.berlin.de 2. Specify the exact location and time period you need 3. Explain the reason for the no-stopping zone (for example, moving) 4. Wait for the Road Traffic Authority's response Important information for your application: - Give the exact address and street section - Include date and time for start and end - Explain the reason for the no-stopping zone - Provide your contact details for follow-up questions

The minimum fee is € 21 for an order for a temporary no-stopping zone. The exact costs depend on the scope and duration of your zone. The Road Traffic Authority will inform you of the final fees after reviewing your application. These factors affect the costs: - Length of the no-stopping zone in meters - Duration of the closure (hours or days) - Effort required for traffic law review - Special circumstances at the chosen location Processing takes about 4 weeks from receipt of your complete application. You will receive a written order with all details and the invoice for the fees.

The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order for your no-stopping zone. You must separately arrange for traffic signs through a construction site safety company and have them installed. The signs must be in place at least 72 hours before the no-stopping zone begins. Important rules for no-stopping zone signs: - Use traffic signs 283 or 286 according to Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) - Install signs at least 72 hours in advance - Attach additional signs with date and time - Use sufficient number of signs for the entire zone You can rent or buy signs from specialized companies. The Road Traffic Authority in Steglitz-Zehlendorf has office hours on Thursdays from 9:00 to 12:00 for personal consultation. Incorrectly placed signs can lead to problems with parked vehicles.

A no-stopping zone makes sense for moves when you need to park a van directly in front of your door. In densely built areas of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, parking spaces are often scarce and a no-stopping zone secures the space you need. Plan at least 5 weeks lead time for application and processing. Consider beforehand how many meters of no-stopping zone you really need. A large moving truck needs about 12 to 15 meters of space for safe parking. Apply for the no-stopping zone for the entire moving day, not just a few hours. This gives you enough time and you won't have to rush if the move takes longer than expected.
