Are you planning a move and looking for a practical solution to secure enough space for your moving vehicle right outside your door? Applying for a temporary no-parking zone is exactly what you need to ensure your move runs smoothly and without unnecessary delays. In this blog article, we show you step by step how to apply for a temporary no-parking zone, what you should keep in mind during the application process and what benefits it offers for your move.
Why apply for a temporary no-parking zone?
When moving, it is often a challenge to find a free parking space near your home, especially if the street is narrow or heavily parked. Setting up a temporary no-parking zone ensures that you do not have to worry about a lack of parking options. This gives you enough space to load and unload your moving goods, saving both time and stress. Especially in urban areas or narrow residential streets, a temporary no-parking zone can make your move significantly easier.
Mobile no-parking signs – what you need to know
For a move, mobile or temporary no-parking signs are usually required. These signs must be set up at least 72 hours before the moving date. Residents should be informed in good time so that they can move their vehicles. There are two types of no-parking zones:
Absolute no-stopping zone
No stopping or parking is allowed here, creating the maximum possible space for the move.
Restricted no-parking zone
The vehicle may stop briefly for loading and unloading, but only for as long as necessary.
With DACHSER & KOLB, you not only receive support with the move itself; we also help you apply for the temporary no-parking zone and provide the necessary no-parking zone signs.
Applying for a temporary no-parking zone – the process
To secure a temporary no-parking zone for your move, you need to obtain a permit in good time. At DACHSER & KOLB, we handle this process for you. To help you understand how we work, here are the key steps we follow:
- 1
Plan ahead early
We ensure that the application for the temporary no-parking zone is submitted at least 14 days before the move. The permit is issued by the local authorities, such as the public order office or the road traffic authority.
- 2
Calculate the required space correctly
We plan enough space for the moving vehicle as well as for loading and unloading. It is advisable to allow a little extra room to handle unexpected challenges.
- 3
Consider the costs
The fees for a temporary no-parking zone vary depending on the city or municipality. We check the exact costs at an early stage.

Set up two temporary no-parking zones:
Of course, we must not forget to apply for a temporary no-parking zone at both the old and the new address. This ensures that we can load and unload conveniently at both locations.
Special permit for a temporary no-parking zone during a move – when is it necessary?
In some cases, it may be necessary to apply for a special permit for a temporary no-parking zone. This is particularly the case if road traffic regulations require it or if the area is on a particularly busy street. With a special permit, you can ensure that your temporary no-parking zone is approved by the authorities and that your move can take place without complications.
What to do about illegally parked vehicles?
If vehicles are parked in your designated zone despite the no-parking signs, you can contact the public order office. The authority will then assign an officer to have the vehicle removed. However, do not attempt to arrange towing on your own, as the costs could potentially be charged to you.
