You can submit the application yourself or hire a company. Company applications are usually processed faster than private applications. A simple no-stopping zone for a moving van typically costs less than a complex zone for construction work. Companies make fewer mistakes with traffic sign plans and know the requirements exactly.

Costs

What does a no-stopping zone cost in Lichtenberg?

The minimum fee is € 21 for each order of a no-stopping zone. Processing takes about 3 weeks after all complete documents are received. The exact costs depend on the complexity and duration of the zone.

These factors influence the fee:

  • Size of the requested no-stopping zone
  • Duration of the no-stopping period
  • Complexity of the traffic sign plan
  • Number of traffic signs needed

The Road Traffic Authority will inform you of the exact fee after reviewing your application. You pay only after the order is issued and receive an invoice by post.

Signs

Who sets up the no-stopping signs in Lichtenberg?

The Road Traffic Authority Lichtenberg only issues the traffic order. You must rent the traffic signs yourself from a construction site safety company. The signs must be installed 72 hours before they become valid.

Important rules for traffic signs:

  • Rent or buy signs from construction site safety companies
  • Install at least 72 hours before the validity time
  • Use traffic signs 283 or 286 according to StVO
  • Remove signs immediately after expiry

Appointments for follow-up questions are possible by email or phone. The office has several contact persons with direct phone lines for quick advice. Many applicants forget to order signs on time and then have problems meeting the deadline.

Moving

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

A no-stopping zone makes sense when you need to park a moving van directly in front of your building. Plan the zone large enough so a van can park and maneuver safely. Apply for the no-stopping zone at least 6 weeks before your moving date. The right zone size depends on vehicle size and local conditions. A normal moving van needs about 10 to 15 meters of space for parking. Narrow streets or difficult parking situations often require a larger zone. Also consider time for obtaining and installing signs. The traffic signs must be in place 3 days before your move. Without a valid no-stopping zone, you risk fines and towing costs for incorrectly parked vehicles.
