No-Stopping Zone Tempelhof-Schöneberg

In Tempelhof-Schöneberg you need a no-stopping zone, for example when moving or building a building. Here you can read where to submit the application, what documents are necessary, what costs will arise and what you need to pay attention to with the signs.

How to apply for

The Tempelhof-Schöneberg Road Traffic Authority is responsible for a no-stopping zone in Tempelhof-Schöneberg. You must submit the application to this authority if you want the no-stopping zone to be there.

To submit an application, use the online form from the city of Berlin. Or you can submit an informal application, for example by email or by post:

• Tempelhof-Schöneberg District Office
  Road Traffic Authority
  Großbeerenstraße 2-10, House 3, 12107 Berlin
• Telephone (030) 90277-1520
• Email sv@ba-ts.berlin.de

Write where the no-stopping zone should be exactly, for which side of the street, on what day and for what times. Important documents are your informal application with contact details and the reason for the no-stopping zone. Enter the exact address, house number, date and duration. If possible, attach a simple site plan or sketch so that the authority can clearly identify the location.

Costs

The fee in Tempelhof-Schöneberg is at least 21 euros. The authority will tell you the exact amount in the notice. The amount depends on the extent and duration of the no-stopping zone. The longer the no-stopping zone applies, the higher the costs can be. A larger zone with lots of signs can also be more expensive. We do not have any more precise fee scales for this district.

The processing time in Tempelhof-Schöneberg is 4 to 6 weeks. Plan enough time and submit the application early. If you are late, the authority may not be able to process the appointment in time.

Signs

The Tempelhof-Schöneberg road traffic authority only decides on traffic regulations. This means: The authority allows no-stopping zone, but does not put up any signs. You have to get the traffic signs yourself, for example from a construction site security company.

The signs must be put up in good time before the no-no-stopping zone begins. In Berlin it is mandatory to put up the signs a few days in advance so that other drivers have enough time. Ask the company what deadline they recommend and what is usual in practice.

Note: Typical errors include incorrectly placed or difficult to read signs. Make sure that the signs are clearly visible and are not covered. Also check whether the date, time and arrow direction on the additional signs are correct.

Moving & construction work

A ban on stopping when moving in Tempelhof-Schöneberg is often worthwhile. It makes sense if you are coming with a larger moving truck or have to carry a lot of furniture. This way other cars don't block the space in front of the front door.

Plan the size of the no-stopping zone based on the length of the vehicle. You usually need space for the moving van and some maneuvering space. In the application, clearly describe how many meters you would like to close.

Due to the processing time of 4-6 weeks, you must plan early. Apply for the no-stopping zone as soon as your moving date has been set. Also talk to the moving company so that the zone fits the vehicle size and time.
