- document when the signs were installed
- install signs securely and in accordance with the order
- keep protected areas such as fire access and public-transport stops clear

DIY or use a Munich sign service?
Munich notes that private companies hire and install traffic signs and often also help with the permit. A full-service option can be useful if you do not want to manage sign logistics and documentation yourself.
Check whether the authority application, administrative fee, signs, timely installation, documentation and removal are actually included.
Alternative to DIY
Do not want to organise the permit and signs yourself?
A specialist service can, depending on scope, handle the application, signs, installation, documentation and removal. Check exactly what the quote includes.
