Construction site - Securing the work site and directing traffic

Baustelle - Arbeitsstelle sichern und Verkehr regeln
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
Construction sites within the road space and construction sites next to the road space that may affect traffic must be secured. The safety measures serve to protect road users (traffic area) and the actual work site (work area). To carry out work that affects road traffic, (construction) companies therefore need a verkehrsrechtliche Anordnung (traffic-law order) from the locally and substantively responsible Straßenverkehrsbehörde (road traffic authority) before starting. The traffic-law order specifies: • how work sites are to be barricaded and marked, • whether and how traffic is to be restricted, directed, and regulated, including in the event of a partial road closure, • whether and how the companies must mark closed roads and diversions. The orders must be complied with, and Lichtzeichenanlagen (Ampeln) (traffic light systems) must be operated.
