You can submit the application yourself as a private individual. The minimum cost is € 21. Alternatively, you can hire a company, which is often cheaper overall.

Costs

What does a no-stopping zone cost in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf?

The minimum fee is € 21 for a simple no-stopping zone. Processing takes 6-10 weeks for private applications. Company applications are processed much faster and are usually ready within 1 week.

The costs depend on several factors:

  • Effort and duration of the planned zone
  • Number of traffic signs required
  • Complexity of the local traffic situation
  • Review effort required by the Road Traffic Authority

In addition to the official fee, you'll need to pay for the signs. You must rent or buy these separately from a construction site safety company.

Signs

Who sets up the no-stopping signs in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf?

You must rent the signs yourself from a construction site safety company. The Road Traffic Authority only issues the traffic order and doesn't provide signs. The signs must be installed 72 hours before they become valid.

Important rules for the signs:

  • Install at least 4 days before validity as a safety buffer
  • Use traffic signs 283 or 286 depending on your order
  • Signs must be clearly visible and securely anchored
  • Replace immediately if stolen or damaged

The Road Traffic Authority has appointments on Mondays and Tuesdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Thursday appointments are available from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Appointments are not required and you must come during opening hours.

Moving

Do I need a no-stopping zone for my move in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf?

A no-stopping zone makes sense for moves on busy streets. You save time and avoid conflicts with other drivers. Plan at least 6 weeks lead time for private applications. Apply for a slightly larger zone rather than too small. A zone that's too small often causes problems on moving day. Costs increase only slightly for larger zones. Also consider the time needed to install the signs. Companies can handle the entire process faster. They usually receive the order within 1 week. This is especially important for last-minute moving dates.
