Abstract

One way of enhancing road safety and improving the flow of traffic is the construction of traffic control systems, an approach that has been vigorously pursued in Germany for several years. Experience has shown that the use of systems with flexible speed regulation results in a significant reduction in the number of accidents. In Europe, the use of variable traffic signs differs from country to country. In Germany, traffic control systems will continue to address motorists using the traffic signs of the German Road Traffic Regulations (pictograms), not least because of the high proportion of foreign road users. The fact that traffic control systems have had a positive impact means that the system of traffic control in Germany will continue to be evolved over the next few years.
