Who Installs the Signs

The Amt für Verkehrsmanagement in Düsseldorf does not install the signs for your no-stopping zone itself. You must therefore install the signs yourself or have them installed by a service provider. Signs can be rented from moving companies or construction service firms. It is important that you only work with a valid permit, as signs without a permit have no legal effect. The permit is based on § 45 Abs. 6 StVO.

When You Must Install the Signs

The signage for your no-stopping zone must be installed at least 3 full days before the planned date. The installation day itself does not count towards the deadline. For a move on Friday, the signs must therefore be in place by Monday at the latest. The signs must be installed properly and clearly visible. Be sure to keep an installation protocol as proof of proper signage.

Why You Need an Installation Protocol

An installation protocol should be kept for every no-stopping zone, as it serves as important proof. You particularly need the protocol in case of illegal parkers who park in the zone despite the signage. In case of illegal parkers, contact the Ordnungsamt or the police in Düsseldorf. You must then be able to present the installation protocol as proof. Only properly installed signs with corresponding documentation have full legal effect.

Installing Signs, Step by Step

How to install the signs correctly:

  • Obtain permit from the Amt für Verkehrsmanagement
  • Rent signs from moving company or construction service firm
  • Install signs at least 3 full days before the move
  • Keep installation protocol with date, time and location
  • In case of illegal parkers, contact Ordnungsamt or police
  • Have installation protocol ready as proof

Important Notes on Signage

Without a valid permit, the installed signs have no legal effect. The Amt für Verkehrsmanagement in Düsseldorf is responsible for issuing the permit. You need an exceptional permit for the street space for parking and stopping. In Düsseldorf, private individuals can submit the application for a no-stopping zone themselves. The installation protocol is indispensable in case of problems with illegal parkers and should be kept carefully.
