Installation deadline, installation log, and hiring signs.

Installation deadline

In Leipzig, the no-stopping signs must be at least 3 full days put up before the start of the no-stopping zone.

Example: Move on Saturday at 8:00

Signs must be in place by Wednesday at the latest

Important: Vehicles that were already parked before the signs were put up cannot be towed away in the event of a problem. The 3-day deadline gives vehicle owners time to move their vehicle.
