You can apply yourself or hire a company. The DIY approach costs a minimum of € 21 to the office. Companies can be cheaper because they avoid mistakes. Company applications are usually processed faster than private applications. A simple no-stopping zone outside your front door is less complex than a zone covering multiple street sections.

Costs

What does a no-stopping zone cost in Pankow?

The minimum fee is € 21. Processing takes 6 to 8 weeks. Final costs depend on complexity and duration.

These factors affect the costs:

  • Size of the no-stopping zone
  • Duration of the no-stopping zone
  • Number of traffic signs required
  • Complexity of the traffic situation

Beyond the office fee, you'll pay for signs. You must rent these separately from a construction safety company. Sign rental usually costs between € 50 and € 150. Many companies also offer complete service including application handling.

Signs

Who sets up the no-stopping signs in Pankow?

You must obtain and install the signs yourself. Pankow district office only issues the traffic order. You rent signs from a construction safety company.

These rules apply to signs:

  • Signs must be installed 72 hours before they take effect
  • Installation is done by you or your hired company
  • Traffic signs 283 or 286 are required
  • Signs must be clearly visible and stable

Most companies offer complete packages. They collect the order, install the signs, and remove them afterward. This costs more than the DIY approach but saves time and stress. Plan at least 4 days before the effective date for installation.

Moving

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

A no-stopping zone often makes sense for moves in Pankow. You secure a parking spot right outside your door. This saves time and energy when carrying furniture. Plan at least 6 weeks before your moving date. Processing in Pankow takes 6 to 8 weeks. For a normal move, 2 to 3 parking spaces are usually enough. This equals about 15 to 20 meters of street length. Choose your time period generously, usually 1 to 2 days. Extensions cost extra and take several more weeks. Many moving companies handle the complete process as a service.
