Temporary ban on stopping for removals and construction sites

Course description

Traffic signs are not valid without written authorisation and may not be erected. As soon as you have received authorisation, you must procure and erect the no-stopping signs yourself and remove them again after the appointment.

The no stopping signs must be erected no later than the fourth day before the planned date of validity. When you erect the no-stopping signs, you must make a note of the licence plate numbers and other characteristics of the vehicles parked there at that time. Please complete the pre-notification list (download).

Tips for removals: Check whether you can keep the approach zone clear yourself by parking your own vehicle there and "reserving" the space until the removal van arrives.

Duration of the stopping ban:

• The desired stopping ban must be limited in time. The maximum possible duration is
  • for removals: 3 calendar days,
  • for film or television recordings: 7 calendar days,
  • for construction site deliveries: 365 calendar days.
• There are upper limits for the duration of online applications. If you require the ban for removals for longer than three calendar days, you must apply for the ban by post, fax or e-mail.
