• road construction
• Work in the side area

Before starting the work, the contractor must obtain instructions from the competent authority (including a traffic sign plan) on how the work site is to be cordoned off and marked and how traffic is to be restricted, regulated and routed.

• written application,
• Traffic sign plan (either standard plan of the RSA or individual; RSA is the abbreviation for "Richtlinien für die Sicherung von Arbeitsstellen an Straßen")
• Possibly detour plan

The traffic law measures required to secure the work site must always be checked on a case-by-case basis. The contractor and the traffic authority have access to the guidelines for securing road works (RSA) as well as standard plans for all possible safety measures.

The contractor must check which road safety measures are necessary and appropriate during the planning phase of the work site based on the specific local conditions. A written application must then be submitted to the traffic authority for the traffic safety measures to be ordered.

The traffic authority examines the application and the documents submitted and consults the authorities to be involved (police and road construction authority). If necessary, a site inspection is carried out with all parties involved in order to coordinate the necessary measures on site. The necessary measures are then ordered by the traffic authority to be carried out by the contractor.

Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the responsible office.
