Bilk Robert-Luther-Strasse in Düsseldorf-Bilk was a no-parking zone for about a week. When we asked, it turned out that municipal employees had mistakenly left the prohibition sign.

For car owners, parking in the city districts is increasingly becoming a hassle. It’s good that Robert-Luther-Straße in Bilk is a small alternative for the residents. The side street of Suitbertusstraße is a dead end street that ends in front of a Düssel bridge. There are no entrances to the houses from Robert-Luther-Straße. There is space for around 20 cars.

In the past week, however, it was over. A newly affixed “No parking” sign with an arrow clearly stated that Robert-Luther-Strasse should remain free of cars almost overnight. A reason for this action could not be seen. The cars that were parked there anyway had traffic tickets stuck between the windshield and wipers on the first day. “What is a parking ban here?” Asked a car owner and resident angrily.

Upon request, the city administration announced: “According to traffic monitoring, a temporary no-stopping ban has been set up on Robert-Luther-Strasse due to tree felling.” Apparently, the company responsible for tree felling only removed the additional sign “tree felling” after the work was completed, not but the no-stopping sign that has also been put up. The shield, which is currently still installed, is also to be dismantled in the short term.
