No parking vs. no stopping

In luxury travel, peace and time are what counts. That’s why it’s important to know when you can stop “for a moment,” and when even a second could mean a ticket. Below, we explain in simple terms the difference between ‘no parking’ and ‘no stopping,’ so every trip with LuxDrivers goes smoothly, elegantly, and without unnecessary stops.

No Parking – the Comfort of a Short Break (Sign B35)

Sign B35 means no parking, i.e., you can’t leave the car for a longer period. Brief stops are allowed – dropping a guest off at the entrance, handing luggage to the concierge, or quickly settling the bill at reception. The key is the pace: a moment of elegance, yes; unlimited parking, no.

No Stopping – Absolute Flow (Sign B36)

Sign B36 is a total ban on stopping: don’t stop even for a second. There’s no such thing as “just flashing your hazards for a moment” outside the theater or an event hall. If B36 applies, a LuxDrivers chauffeur chooses a bay or a legal stopping zone—so they can arrive at just the right time without any stress.

B35 vs B36 – A Difference Worth Knowing

• B35 (no parking): a quick break is OK, longer standing still – no.
• B36 (no stopping): no standing still, not even for a moment.
• For the Client: B35 – quick drop-off/pick-up at the entrance; B36 – set a pick-up point in a bay or near the zone.

Arrows under the Signs – Where the Zone Starts

• Arrow up: from this place the restriction applies.
• Arrow down: the restriction ends here.
• Arrows both ways: you’re inside the zone.
  Thanks to this, we know where to stop with class and by the book—especially at hotels, conference halls, and shopping arcades.

Sidewalk and Driveway – Are They Covered Too?

As a rule, the ban also covers the sidewalk along the indicated section, unless a supplementary plate narrows the scope (e.g., roadway only). If the sidewalk is part of the B36 zone, stopping on it is also not allowed. In practice, we choose a bay, a courtyard with a permit, or a VIP parking area.

Where You’ll Most Often Find B35/B36 in the City

• B35: delivery zones at hotels, premium streets with heavy traffic, areas near international schools.
• B36: around intersections, stops, bridges, tunnels, and exits from event venues.
  Knowing the map of such locations lets you plan the perfect arrival and an elegant approach to the entrance.

Tickets and Towing – Why Take the Risk

Violating B35/B36 means risking a fine and penalty points, and if you block traffic – even towing. With premium travel, it’s not worth wasting time or nerves. At LuxDrivers, we focus on anticipating potential issues and choosing safe alternative stopping spots. Find out why it’s worth choosing the chauffeured limousine option.

How It Works with LuxDrivers – VIP Scenarios

• Gala or premiere: the driver monitors the B36 zone and waits in a bay, then pick-up takes place right after the event ends.
• 5* Hotel: quick drop-off at B35, luggage is handled by the staff, the car moves to the parking area.
• Airport: coordination with designated kiss & fly and VIP zones, no stopping in restricted areas.

How to Request the “Perfect Arrival” from Your Driver

• Provide the entrance number or the name of the gate/reception.
• Select your preferred pick-up location in the app or message.
• Add information about luggage or concierge assistance.
  Result: the car arrives at the exact spot, without breaking any rules and without unnecessary waiting.

• Experienced drivers: discreet, helpful, with excellent city knowledge.
• 24/7 and flexibility: rental with or without a driver, by the hour or by the day; premium add-ons upon request.

VIP Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I request assistance at the entrance? Yes, as part of a short stop permitted at B35 – we coordinate the rest so as not to violate B36.
• What if the entrance is in zone B36? We arrange a legal pick-up point nearby and synchronize arrival time.
• Does LuxDrivers assist with events? Yes, we plan the route, stop point, and timing – ensuring smooth and comfortable arrival.
