Detailed description

Setting up a temporary no-parking zone can be useful if, for example, you are planning a move, expecting a delivery, or having construction work carried out. If you wish to establish a temporary no-parking zone, you must first apply for a permit from the relevant authority. After approval, you may receive road signs, which you must put up in a timely manner so that other road users are informed. Depending on the local conditions and your needs, you may be granted permission for a one-sided or two-sided road closure.
