Getting a no-stopping zone (Halteverbot) in Treptow-Köpenick costs a minimum of € 21 and takes about 4 weeks.

Here you'll find all important contacts and steps for your order.

How to Apply

You submit your application to the Road Traffic Authority at Treptow-Köpenick district office by email. The authority issues the traffic order after reviewing your application. Online applications are not available in this district. How to proceed: 1. Write an informal application (formloser Antrag) by email to SGA-SVB@ba-tk.berlin.de 2. Include location, date, time and reason for the no-stopping zone 3. Describe the exact size of the desired no-stopping zone 4. Wait for the traffic order from the authority 5. Arrange traffic signs through a specialized company Important points for your application: - Apply for the no-stopping zone at least 4 weeks before your desired date - The authority only issues the order, not the signs themselves - Include a phone number for follow-up questions in your email

Costs

The minimum fee is € 21 for a traffic order. Processing time (Bearbeitungszeit) is about 4 weeks after receiving your application. Additional costs apply for traffic signs, which you must arrange separately. Factors affecting costs: - Size of the desired no-stopping zone (larger area = higher fee) - Duration of the no-stopping zone (longer time may cost more) - Type of street (main road or side street) - Additional special use fees possible for longer use Traffic signs cost extra and must be obtained through a construction site safety company. These costs are not included in the authority fee.

Signs

The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order for the no-stopping zone. You must arrange traffic signs separately through a construction site safety company. Signs must be placed 72 hours (3 full days) before the no-stopping zone becomes valid. Important rules for signs: - Installation at least 72 hours before validity - Use traffic signs 283 or 286 according to Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) - Professional installation by specialized companies recommended - Signs must be clearly visible and traffic-safe Avoid common mistakes by hiring the company early. Late-installed signs make the no-stopping zone invalid, even if you have the order.

Moving

A no-stopping zone makes sense when you need to park a moving truck directly in front of your door. Especially in densely built areas of Treptow-Köpenick, the no-stopping zone secures you a parking space. Plan at least 4 weeks lead time for the application. For zone size, calculate about 15 to 20 meters length for a large moving truck. For moving from an apartment, 2 to 3 parking spaces usually suffice. Apply for the no-stopping zone for the entire moving day, ideally from early morning until evening. Without a no-stopping zone, you risk your moving truck having to park far away. This makes moving significantly more strenuous and expensive, as the moving company needs more time.
