Abstract

The exit slip road (11) from a motorway (BAB) has a series of warning signs facing in the opposite direction to reduce the possibility of any vehicle attempting to enter. The first pair of signs (9,10) display no entry symbols and these are followed by 3 pairs of stop signs (3-8). The stop signs are set on posts at different heights such that they are all visible. A final pair of signs (1,2) are illuminated by a blinking red light. ADVANTAGE - Minimises possibility of vehicles going in wrong direction along exit slip road.

Description

Es ist bekannt, daß immer wieder und in zunehmendem Maße Kraftfahrer die Einfahrten in die Kraftfahrstraßen, Bundesautobahnen und Europastraßen mit deren Ausfahrten verwechseln und in Letztere einfahren, die Straßen dann in entgegengesetzter Fahrtrichtung befahren und damit eine große Gefahren­ quelle darstellen. Bislang ist die Verhinderung des Einfahrens in Ausfahr­ ten von Kraftfahrstraßen, Bundesautobahnen und Europastraßen dergestalt ge­ regelt, daß auf der Ausfahrtsfahrbahn ein Richtungspfeil aufgemalt ist, das Verkehrszeichen 267 (Verbot der Einfahrt) links und rechts der Ausfahrt steht und Aus- und Einfahrtsfahrbahnen mit dem zwischen diesen angebrach­ ten Verkehrszeichen 222 (Rechts vorbei) getrennt sind sowie durch eine Fahrstreifenbegrenzungslinie.It is known that time and again and again motorists confuse the entrances to the motorways, federal highways and European roads with their exits and enter the latter, then drive the roads in the opposite direction and thus represent a major source of danger. So far, the prevention of entry into exits of motorways, federal highways and European roads has been regulated in such a way that a directional arrow is painted on the exit lane, the traffic sign 267 (prohibition of entry) is to the left and right of the exit and exit and entry lanes with the between these attached traffic signs 222 (right past) are separated and by a lane boundary line.

Diese bisherige Verkehrseinrichtung scheint nicht geeignet, Kraftfahrer bei Tag, Nacht und Nebel hinreichend darauf aufmerksam machen zu können, daß das Befahren der Fahrbahn in dieser Richtung verboten ist.This previous traffic facility does not seem suitable for motorists to be able to draw sufficient attention to it during the day, night and fog, that driving in this direction is prohibited.

Der im Anspruch angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, durch ei­ ne geeignete, kostengünstige Verkehrseinrichtung "Geisterfahrten bzw. Falschfahrten" zu verhindern bzw. zumindest soweit wie möglich einzu­ dämmen im Interesse der Allgemeinheit.The invention specified in the claim is based on the problem by egg ne suitable, inexpensive transport facility "ghost rides or To prevent wrong-way driving "or at least as far as possible insulate in the public interest.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß statt einer einmaligen, durch Verkehrszeichen 267 (Verbot der Einfahrt) und damit leichter zu übersehenden Warnung eine konzentrierte Verkehrseinrich­ tung vorhanden ist, die optisch unübersehbar ist in ihrer Konzentrierung von Warnschildern, die wahrnehmbar dicht aufeinander folgen, höhenmäßig auffällig verschieden sind und hinsichtlich des letzten Verkehrszeichenpaars durch das ständig in Betrieb befindliche rote Blinklicht, das dem Kraftfahrer "Ge­ fahr" signalisiert, dessen Wachsamkeit und Wahrnehmung hervorruft, ihn auf sein Fehlverhalten hinweist und ihn zum Halten veranlaßt. Durch das rote Blinklicht ist auch bei Dunkelheit und Nebel Warnung gegeben, was bei der bisherigen Verkehrseinrichtung vermißt wird.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that instead of a one-time, by traffic sign 267 (prohibition of entry) and thus easier to overlook a concentrated traffic device is available, which is visually unmistakable in their concentration of warning signs that are perceptibly close to each other follow, are strikingly different in height and with regard to the last pair of traffic signs due to the constantly flashing red flashing light, which signals the driver "Ge danger", whose vigilance and perception elicits, reminds him of his misconduct and causes him to stop. The red flashing light gives a warning even in the dark and fog, which is missing in the previous traffic facility.

Gleichzeitig wird der Rechtssprechung mit dieser Erfindung eine Möglich­ keit an die Hand gegeben, das Verhalten eines Kraftfahrers, der diese Ver­ kehrseinrichtung mißachtet, als vorsätzliche Straftat werten zu können, nachdem der Kraftfahrer dann immerhin über einen gewissen Weg und einen gewissen Zeitraum hinweg eine Mehrzahl von Verkehrszeichen mißachtet ha­ ben muß und sich damit grob verkehrswidrig und rücksichtslos gezeigt hat.At the same time, case law becomes possible with this invention given the behavior of a driver who is responsible for this ver traffic facility is disregarded as being a deliberate crime, after the driver then at least a certain way and one a certain number of traffic signs have been disregarded for a period of time must and has shown himself grossly against traffic and reckless.

Hauptargument ist jedoch die durch die Erfindung zumindest einzudämmen­ de Gefahr von Geisterfahrten bzw. Falschfahrten und damit die Hilfe für die Allgemeinheit der Kraftfahrer.The main argument, however, is at least to contain the invention de Risk of ghost rides or wrong journeys and thus help for the generality of drivers.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im Folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.

Der Kraftfahrer, der versehentlich über die Fahrstreifenbegrenzungslinie hinweg unter Mißachtung des Verkehrszeichens 222 (Rechts vorbei) und des Richtungspfeils in die Ausfahrt einer Kraftfahrstraße, Bundesautobahn oder Europastraße hineinfährt, sieht sich vor eine Reihe von Warnschil­ dern gestellt, die durch ihre Häufigkeit, Höhenverschiedenheit und letzt­ lich das rote Blinklicht unbedingt Aufmerksamkeit erregen müssen. Hat der Kraftfahrer das bisher bestehende Verkehrszeichen 267 (Verbot der Ein­ fahrt) übersehen und zusätzlich auch noch das neue darunter angebrachte Verkehrszeichen 220 (Einbahnstraße), so folgt sofort eine Reihe von höhen­ mäßig gestaffelt aufgestellten Verkehrszeichen 206 (STOP) in einem Ab­ stand von mindestens jeweils 5 m. Zudem leuchtet auf dem letzten Verkehrs­ zeichenpaar 206 das ständig in Betrieb befindliche rote Blinklicht als höchste Alarmstufe zum Bemerken, daß der Kraftfahrer verbotenerweise die Straße befährt. Die roten Blinklichter werden gespeist durch dauerhafte Batterien, die im übrigen bei Baustellen bereits seit langem Einsatz fin­ den; so sind Wartungsarbeiten bzw. -kosten auf ein Minimum beschränkt.The driver who accidentally drives over the lane boundary line, disregarding the traffic sign 222 (right past) and the directional arrow, into the exit of a highway, federal highway or European road, sees a series of warning signs, which are due to their frequency, difference in height and the last The red flashing light must definitely attract attention. If the driver has overlooked the previously existing traffic sign 267 (ban on entry) and also the new traffic sign 220 underneath (one-way street), a series of traffic signs 206 (STOP) at different heights immediately follows at a spacing of at least 5 m each. In addition, on the last pair of traffic signs 206, the red flashing light, which is constantly in operation, lights up as the highest alarm level for noticing that the driver is driving the road illegally. The red flashing lights are powered by permanent batteries, which have also been used on construction sites for a long time; maintenance work and costs are kept to a minimum.

Die Kosten für die Erstellung dieser Verkehrseinrichtung (ohne die bisher vorhandene Verkehrseinrichtung) belaufen sich im Einzelfall auf ca. 1500,- DM, dürften sich allerdings bei der Vielzahl der notwendigen Ver­ kehrseinrichtungen für Ausfahrten von Kraftfahrstraßen, Bundesautobahnen und Europastraßen erheblichst vermindern.The cost of building this transport facility (excluding the previously existing traffic facility) amount to approx. 1500, - DM, should however with the multitude of necessary ver traffic facilities for exits from motorways, federal highways and significantly reduce European roads.
