No-stopping zone signs in Frankfurt am Main must be installed on time and correctly. The installation deadline is 72 hours (3 full calendar days) before the zone begins.

Installation Deadline

In Frankfurt, no-stopping zone signs must be installed at least 72 hours before the zone begins. This equals 3 full calendar days.

Example: Move on Saturday at 8:00 AM

  • Signs must be in place by Wednesday at 8:00 AM at the latest

Important: Without timely sign installation, towing is not permitted. The 72-hour deadline gives vehicle owners time to move their cars.

Evidence List

The evidence list is particularly important in Frankfurt. It documents which vehicles were already parked in the zone when the signs were installed.

How to keep the evidence list:

  1. When installing signs, note all parked vehicles
  2. Record the licence plate of each vehicle
  3. Note the date and time of installation
  4. Take photos of the installed signs

Important: Without an evidence list and timely sign installation, towing is not permitted. Keep the list carefully.

Renting Signs

Signs can be rented from a construction site safety company or sign rental firm.

Typical costs:

  • Sign rental: from EUR 30 per day
  • Installation by professional: EUR 20-40 per sign

Number of signs needed:

  • Small zone (2-3 parking spaces): 2 signs
  • Medium zone (4-6 parking spaces): 3-4 signs
  • Large zone (7+ parking spaces): 4+ signs

Tip: Professional services with annual permits often offer all-inclusive packages covering the permit, signs, and installation.

Correct Installation

How to install signs correctly:

  1. Position: Signs at the beginning and end of the zone
  2. Visibility: Signs must be clearly visible
  3. Securing: Fasten securely so they do not fall over
  4. Arrows: Note arrow direction (pointing towards the centre of the zone)
  5. Evidence list: Record licence plates of all parked vehicles

Illegally Parked Cars

What to do if a vehicle is parked in your zone despite the no-stopping signs:

  1. Check whether the vehicle is on your evidence list
  2. If yes: The vehicle was there before the no-stopping zone
  3. If no: Call the traffic safety hotline
