Costs

What does a no-stopping zone cost in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg?

The minimum fee is € 21 for the traffic order. Processing takes 6 to 8 weeks in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Your final costs depend on several factors:

  • Size and duration of your requested no-stopping zone
  • Number of traffic signs needed
  • Complexity of the local traffic situation
  • Review effort required for your traffic sign plan

You must rent the actual signs separately from a construction site safety company. These costs typically range from € 50 to € 150.

Signs

Who sets up the no-stopping signs in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg?

The Road Traffic Authority only issues the legal traffic order for your no-stopping zone. You must rent and install the signs yourself through a construction site safety company. The signs must be installed 72 hours before they become valid.

Key requirements for your signs:

  • Use traffic signs 283 or 286 according to StVO regulations
  • Attach additional signs showing the exact validity period
  • Install signs visibly and securely
  • Replace damaged or stolen signs immediately

The most common mistakes are installing signs too late or using unreadable additional signs. Contact construction site safety companies at least one week before your desired date.

Moving

Do I need a no-stopping zone for my move in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg?

A no-stopping zone makes sense when you need to park a moving truck directly outside your front door. Many streets in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg have heavy traffic and limited parking spaces. Plan at least 6 weeks lead time for your moving date. Your zone size depends on your moving truck size and local conditions. A small van needs about 8 meters of space, while a large moving truck requires up to 15 meters. Consider extra space for loading and unloading, plus access for pedestrians and cyclists. Alternatives to a no-stopping zone include moving during early morning hours or using public loading zones. However, these zones can't be reserved and are often already occupied.
