No-stopping zone for a move in Stuttgart

When it makes sense, scheduling and a checklist for moving day.

A no-stopping zone makes your move in Stuttgart much easier. You have free parking spaces right outside the door and save time on moving day. The Amt für öffentliche Ordnung is the central point of contact.

When is a no-stopping zone worthwhile?

A no-stopping zone is particularly worthwhile in these situations:

• Narrow streets without sufficient parking spaces
• City-centre location with high parking pressure
• Large move with lots of furniture and several trips
• Removal van needs space right outside the house

Advantages of a no-stopping zone:

• Reserved parking spaces on moving day
• Shorter distances between the flat and the removal van
• Less stress and a quicker process
• No risk of not finding a parking space

The right scheduling is crucial for a successful move with a no-stopping zone.

Vehicles parked incorrectly on moving day

What should you do if, despite the no-parking restriction, a vehicle is in your zone?

Procedure for vehicles parked incorrectly:

1. Check whether the vehicle is on your number-plate list
2. If yes: The vehicle was there before the no-parking restriction
3. If no: Contact the City of Stuttgart towing service

Towing costs:

• If the 72-hour deadline is met: the vehicle owner bears the costs
• If the deadline is not met: you bear the costs

Special feature in Stuttgart

Stuttgart has an important special feature: You are not allowed to put up the signs yourself.

The signs may only be put up by:

• Bauhof/straßenmeisterei (road authority responsible for maintenance)
• Qualified specialist company with proof of competence

So plan in good time to commission the Bauhof or a specialist company.
