Traffic Signs and Regulations
This page was translated from German using artificial intelligence. The translation may contain errors or inaccuracies. In case of doubt, the German original version prevails.
Any placement, modification, or removal of traffic signs or traffic facilities requires a traffic authority order from the competent traffic authority.
Through traffic authority orders, existing traffic regulations/processes should be optimized for proven traffic-related needs, and necessary measures should be taken to maintain public safety.
This applies, among other things, to:
- Installation of traffic lights at intersections;
- Designation of dead-end streets;
- Imposition of no-parking zones;
- Road markings; and
- Imposition of speed restrictions
You can submit the application informally.
The application should generally include the following information:
- Description of the location
- Explanation of traffic flows
- Description of observed deficiencies and traffic disruptions
- Solution proposals if possible
- Any available photos
Which authority is also responsible?
For the cities and municipalities of Gummersbach, Radevormwald, Wiehl, Wipperfürth, Morsbach, and Reichshof, the applications must be submitted to the respective city or municipal administration.
