E1, E3 and E9c: which parking sign do you need for your construction site or move?

For a temporary no-parking zone at a construction site or a move, you usually use E1 (no parking) or E3 (no parking and no stopping), each time with supplementary panels for the zone and the period. E9c, on the other hand, reserves a space for light goods vehicles. Exactly which sign you need is stated in your public domain occupancy permit.

Two no-parking signs with the permitted period written on by hand

The parking signs in the E series look alike, but the difference determines whether someone may still stop briefly to load or has to stay away entirely. Below we list the three signs you need most often for a construction site or a move.

E1: no parking

The E1 sign prohibits parking but still allows brief stopping: letting passengers get in and out or quickly loading and unloading is permitted. You use this sign when the space has to stay clear but a short stop is not a problem.

E3: no parking and no stopping

The E3 sign is stricter: here your vehicle may not even stop briefly. You use this sign when the zone has to remain completely clear, for example for a crane, a container or a furniture lift that needs the full space.

E9c and the zonal signs

The E9 series does allow parking, but for a specific group. E9c means parking for light goods vehicles only, useful when you want to guarantee a space for a van or light goods vehicle. These signs are also combined with supplementary panels.

Supplementary panels: zone and period

A parking sign only works properly with the right supplementary panels. Arrows (start, middle, end of the zone) mark out the length over which the ban applies, and a time indication states the start and end date. The signs usually have to be in place a few days in advance so that parked cars can be moved away in time.

Which sign for your situation?

The permit determines which signs you put up. You apply for your no-parking zone per municipality, and you rent the matching parking signs from us, SB250-compliant, with optional delivery and installation.
