Applying for a no-parking zone for your move or construction site
For a move, a delivery or a construction site, you reserve a parking space with a temporary no-parking zone. You apply for the public domain occupancy permit with the municipality (via EagleBE, Spotbooking or the occupancy form) and put up E1/E3 no-parking signs in good time. Expect a processing time of a few working days.
Do you want to be sure of a free space for your removal van, crane or site zone? Then you apply for a temporary no-parking zone. Here is how to do it properly.
How does a temporary no-parking zone work?
You reserve the parking space(s) through a public domain occupancy permit with the municipality. Once approved, you put up no-parking signs (E1 or E3) with the correct supplementary panels and the start and end date. The signs usually have to be in place a number of days beforehand, so that parked cars can be moved away in time.
Which signs do you need?
- E1: no parking, or E3: no parking and no stopping.
- Supplementary panels showing the zone and the period of validity.
- When the roadway is occupied, sometimes extra signage such as arrows with flashing lights (D1c/D1d).
Not sure which sign you need? Read our explanation of the parking signs E1, E3 and E9c.
Where do you apply?
Per municipality, via EagleBE, Spotbooking or the city's occupancy form. Apply at least a few working days in advance. We arrange the application and deliver and install the signs on site on time.

- Who is responsible for putting up the construction site signage?Whoever carries out the works is responsible for ensuring that road signs are correctly installed, even if you put them up yourself. If they are installed incorrectly or do not meet the legal requirements, the police will not tow away illegally parked vehicles and may shut down the construction site.
- Putting up your own parking signs: a summary of the rulesIf you are putting up the parking signs yourself, you must position them exactly as specified in your permit: one set per 25 metres, with the start sign showing the arrow pointing upwards, the end sign showing the arrow pointing downwards, and the dates and times on the lower panels. Take photographs whilst performing the installation and send these, together with the number plates of the cars already parked there, to the police and the municipality.
