Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for delimiting a lane with, e.g. glued-on base plates and a flag which can be inserted or removed in a recess of each base plate, a connecting device being provided for easy and quick detachment of the flag from the base plate.
- lane delimiters are arranged at the edges of the lane or in the middle between adjacent lanes as lane dividers, which consist of a base plate and a rubber flag or plastic flag that protrudes from the base plate.
- lane markers are glued to the road surface or fastened using nails, screws or bolts. Since the flag is firmly anchored to the base plate, the flag can only be removed from the roadway together with the base plate.
- the problem arises when dividing a freeway directional lane into three lanes, two of which are in one direction, e.g. out of town, and lead one in the opposite direction if you want to reverse one of the two lanes leading out of town in the opposite direction for the purpose of facilitating the return flow flowing into town.
- the lane delimiters arranged between the lanes leading in different directions must be offset by one lane in a very short period of time before the return flow traffic begins.
- a lane delimiter of the type mentioned is known with a base plate fastened to the carriageway and having a recess, in the recess of which the shaft of any traffic sign can be inserted.
- a compression spring provided in a transverse bore of the shaft and a steel ball pressed by the latter into an annular groove in the base plate recess form a releasable connecting device between the base plate and the traffic sign.
- This connecting device formed from several individual parts is relatively complicated and expensive.
- this connection device is not rollover-proof, i.e. that the traffic signs are torn from their anchoring in the base plate by vehicles rolling over them, which is why this known lane limiter cannot be used in narrow construction site areas.
- the object of the invention is to provide a limiting device which is secured in its position of use and which enables lanes to be laid in a short period of time and without great expenditure on material and costs.
- the device has a plurality of marking sets, each of which is formed from at least two floor plates and a flag, the marking sets being arranged on adjacent lanes in such a way that at least one row of floor plates without Flags are each provided along a lane and a row of floor plates equipped with flags is provided along a further adjacent lane and the connecting device as a groove which extends transversely into the base plate from at least one side of the base plate and is open at the bottom and corresponds to the lower end of the flag is provided to the groove extension, the flag can be inserted from the side into the groove of the base plate, that each flag is provided with at least one recess serving as a grip hole and that a snap between the groove of the base plate and the extension of the flag Fuse is provided t, which is formed by a transversely to the groove or to the flag, integrally formed with one of the parts elevation and a corresponding indentation on the counterpart, this snap-locking is releasable by lateral displacement
- the flag for the purpose of changing a lane, can be quickly removed from the base plate, with no manipulations, in particular no manipulations with a tool, and just as quickly and in turn without the need for time-consuming manipulations in an already fastened on the road at the desired location
- Use a floor slab which means that only a short period of time is necessary to move a lane, so that it is also possible to move a lane extending over several kilometers without significant traffic disruption.
- DE-A 3 412 999 discloses a barrier beacon for channeling traffic routing in pivoting areas in front of motorway construction sites, which has a base plate and an upstanding signal image carrier anchored in it in a form-fitting manner.
- the base plate of this known barrier beacon is not attached to the roadway, which is why it can be moved by vehicles rolling over it.
- Another disadvantage of this known barrier beacon is the fact that the signal image carrier is torn from its anchoring in the base plate when it is rolled over or by strong wind forces.
- EP-A 20 134 607 discloses a guide device for securing the construction site with a stand plate into which a stand profile is inserted, the stand profile being able to be positively clamped in a recess in the stand plate by means of mechanical means.
- detaching the stand profile from the stand plate is associated with time-consuming manipulations.
- a device for laying a track divider is known from EP-A 10125 817, the track divider being formed from raised parts which are articulated in the form of a link chain and rest on the road surface. These parts can be moved from one side of a carriageway to the other side of the carriageway by means of an arch-shaped receptacle.
- the disadvantage here is that a simple laying of the roadway divider is only possible if it is not connected to the roadway, i.e. lies loosely on the road. In the case of gluing, the parts first have to be detached from the road and, after being moved to the new position, glued to the road again, which is cumbersome and involves waiting times.
- a road marking nail is known from GB-A 1 560 288, which can be inserted into a bore provided on the roadway and can be fixed relative to it by a dowel-like connecting means.
- a sleeve can be placed on the marking nail, but it cannot be used as a road divider since it cannot be driven over.
- a lane limiter is known with a stone that can be used in the lane and has a dovetail-shaped groove that is open to the side and into which a flag can be inserted from the side. Since the stone, in order to be able to be rolled over, must be sunk into the road until the groove with its side opening lies below the surface of the road, it is necessary to lift the stone out of the road to install or remove the flag, thereby it is unsuitable for optionally limiting a lane.
- FIG. 1 shows a front view of a lane limiter
- Fig. 2 shows a side view of the same in the direction of arrow II of Fig. 1.
- 3 and 4 each illustrate a highway section with oncoming traffic area at a construction site, with FIG. 3 the oncoming traffic area with two lanes in one first direction and one lane in the opposite direction, and FIG. 4 only one lane in the first direction and two Show lanes in the opposite direction.
- the embodiment of a lane limiter shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a rectangular base plate 1, seen from above, which is designed as a low truncated pyramid.
- the underside 2 of the base plate is provided with a mesh back 3, which increases the adhesion of an adhesive with which the base plate can be glued to a roadway.
- Reflectors 5 can be cast into the sloping side surfaces 4 of the base plate.
- the base plate 1 is preferably made of rubber or plastic.
- a connecting device which is formed in the base plate 1 as a T-shaped or dovetail-shaped groove which is open at the top.
- the groove 8 is open at least towards an inclined side surface 4 of the base plate and extends parallel to the longitudinal side of the base plate 1 across its upper side 9, so that the flag 7 is pushed into the base plate 1 from the side in the direction of the double arrow 10 or can be removed in the opposite direction from the base plate 1 without having to remove the base plate from the road.
- the connecting device also includes a T-shaped or dovetail-shaped extension 11 arranged at the lower end of the lug 7, the cross section of which is designed to correspond to the cross section of the groove 8.
- the flag 7 can also be provided with retroreflective devices 12, for example with a retroreflective sheeting.
- the oncoming lane 19 should have two lanes 21, 22 out of town and one 23 in town or one lane 21 out of town and two lanes 22 ', 23 in town.
- base plates 1 of the lane delimiters according to the invention are fastened, for example glued, to the two edges 24 of the middle lane 22.
- the lane 23 leading into the city is clearly delimited from the lanes 21, 22 leading out of the city by flags 7 inserted into the base plates 1. Between the two adjacent lanes leading out of the city, only base plates 1 without flags are fastened, which base plates 1 serve as marking nails which may be run over for the purpose of overtaking.
- the flags 7 arranged between the lanes 22 and 23 are removed from the base plates 1, the base plates 1 remaining on the road 19, and in the floor plates arranged between the adjacent lanes 21, 22 used. Since the base plates 1 remain in place, this process can be carried out quickly and easily, for example from a car which travels along the middle lane 22 (or 22 '). In this way it is possible to change lanes over long lanes in the shortest possible time.
- an elevation 26 extending transversely to the groove is formed in the bottom of the groove 8, which interacts with an indentation 27 provided on the extension 11 of the flag 7 and corresponding to the elevation 26 and together with this one by displacement the flag 7 with respect to the base plate 1 forms an easily releasable snap securing of the flag with respect to the base plate.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Begrenzung einer Fahrspur mit auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche befestigten, z.B. aufgeklebten Bodenplatten und einer in eine Ausnehmung jeder Bodenplatte einsetzbaren bzw. entfernbaren Fahne, wobei eine Verbindungseinrichtung zum leichten und schnellen Lösen der Fahne von der Bodenplatte vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to a device for delimiting a lane with, e.g. glued-on base plates and a flag which can be inserted or removed in a recess of each base plate, a connecting device being provided for easy and quick detachment of the flag from the base plate.
Bei auf Fahrbahnen durchzuführenden Bauarbeiten ist es oft notwendig, die Fahrbahn zu verengen bzw. zu verlegen. Beispielsweise kann es notwendig sein, eine Fahrspur einer Autobahnfahrbahn auf die Gegenfahrbahn zu verlegen. Zur Absicherung der verlegten Fahrspur werden Fahrspurbegrenzer an den Rändern der Fahrspur bzw. in der Mitte zwischen benachbarten Fahrbahnen als Fahrbahnteiler angeordnet, die aus einer Bodenplatte und einer von der Bodenplatte emporragenden Gummifahne oder Kunststoffahne bestehen. Diese Fahrspurbegrenzer werden auf die Fahrbahnoberfläche aufgeklebt oder mittels Nägel, Schrauben oder Bolzen befestigt. Da die Fahne mit der Bodenplatte fest verankert ist, läßt sich die Fahne von der Fahrbahn nur gemeinsam mit der Bodenplatte entfernen.When carrying out construction work on roadways, it is often necessary to narrow or relocate the roadway. For example, it may be necessary to move a lane of a freeway lane to the opposite lane. To secure the laid lane, lane delimiters are arranged at the edges of the lane or in the middle between adjacent lanes as lane dividers, which consist of a base plate and a rubber flag or plastic flag that protrudes from the base plate. These lane markers are glued to the road surface or fastened using nails, screws or bolts. Since the flag is firmly anchored to the base plate, the flag can only be removed from the roadway together with the base plate.
Will man eine auf diese Art und Weise mit Fahrspurbegrenzern abgesicherte Fahrspur abermals verlegen, beispielsweise zur Richtungsänderung, ist es notwendig, die Fahrspurbegrenzer zu entfernen und an der neu gewünschten Fahrspurgrenze wiederum zu befestigen. Da dieser Vorgang einige Zeit benötigt (auf die Bodenplatte muß nach deren Lösen von der Fahrbahn Kleber frisch aufgetragen werden und antrocknen gelassen bzw. müssen neue Bolzenlöcher in die Fahrbahn gebohrt werden), ist die Verlegung einer Fahrspur kurzfristig oft nicht möglich.If you want to relocate a lane secured in this way with lane delimiters, for example to change the direction, it is necessary to remove the lane delimiter and fix it again at the newly desired lane boundary. Since this process takes some time (after removing it from the roadway, glue must be freshly applied and left to dry, or new bolt holes must be drilled in the roadway), it is often not possible to lay a lane at short notice.
Insbesondere stellt sich das Problem bei Teilung einer Autobahnrichtungsfahrbahn in drei Fahrspuren, von denen zwei in eine Richtung, z.B. stadtauswärts, und eine in die entgegengesetzte Richtung führen, wenn man zum Zweck der Erleichterung des stadteinwärts fließenden Rückflutverkehrs eine der beiden stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren in die entgegengesetzte Richtung umkehren will. In diesem Fall müssen vor Einsetzen des Rückflutverkehrs in einer sehr kurzen Zeitspanne die zwischen den in unterschiedliche Richtungen führenden Fahrspuren angeordneten Fahrspurbegrenzer um eine Fahrspur versetzt werden.In particular, the problem arises when dividing a freeway directional lane into three lanes, two of which are in one direction, e.g. out of town, and lead one in the opposite direction if you want to reverse one of the two lanes leading out of town in the opposite direction for the purpose of facilitating the return flow flowing into town. In this case, the lane delimiters arranged between the lanes leading in different directions must be offset by one lane in a very short period of time before the return flow traffic begins.
Aus der US-A 3 902 818 ist ein Fahrspurbegrenzer der eingangs genannten Art mit einer an der Fahrbahn befestigten und eine Ausnehmung aufweisenden Bodenplatte bekannt, in deren Ausnehmung der Schaft eines beliebigen Verkehrszeichens eingesetzt werden kann. Bei diesem bekannten Fahrspurbegrenzer bilden eine in einer Querbohrung des Schaftes vorgesehene Druckfeder und eine von dieser in eine Ringnut der Bodenplattenausnehmung gedrückte Stahlkugel eine lösbare Verbindungseinrichtung zwischen der Bodenplatte und dem Verkehrszeichen. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß diese aus mehreren Einzelteilen gebildete Verbindungseinrichtung relativ kompliziert und aufwendig ist. Weiter ist diese Verbindungseinrichtung nicht überrollsicher, d.h. daß die Verkehrszeichen durch darüberrollende Fahrzeuge aus ihrer Verankerung in der Bodenplatte gerissen werden, weshalb dieser bekannte Fahrspurbegrenzer bei engen Baustellenbereichen nicht einsetzbar ist.From US-A 3 902 818 a lane delimiter of the type mentioned is known with a base plate fastened to the carriageway and having a recess, in the recess of which the shaft of any traffic sign can be inserted. In this known lane limiter, a compression spring provided in a transverse bore of the shaft and a steel ball pressed by the latter into an annular groove in the base plate recess form a releasable connecting device between the base plate and the traffic sign. The disadvantage here is that this connecting device formed from several individual parts is relatively complicated and expensive. Furthermore, this connection device is not rollover-proof, i.e. that the traffic signs are torn from their anchoring in the base plate by vehicles rolling over them, which is why this known lane limiter cannot be used in narrow construction site areas.
Die Erfindung stellt sich die Aufgabe, eine in ihrer Gebrauchsstellung lagegesicherte Begrenzungseinrichtung zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, in einer kurzen Zeitspanne und ohne großen Material-und Kostenaufwand Fahrspuren zu verlegen.The object of the invention is to provide a limiting device which is secured in its position of use and which enables lanes to be laid in a short period of time and without great expenditure on material and costs.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, daß die Einrichtung eine Mehrzahl von Markierungs-Sätzen aufweist, von denen jeder aus mindestens zwei Bodenplatten und einer Fahne gebildet ist, wobei die Markierungs-Sätze derart an benachbarten Fahrbahnen angeordnet sind, daß mindestens eine Reihe von Bodenplatten ohne Fahnen jeweils entlang einer Fahrspur und eine Reihe von mit Fahnen ausgestatteten Bodenplatten entlang einer weiteren benachbarten Fahrspur vorgesehen ist und die Verbindungseinrichtung als sich von mindestens einer Seite der Bodenplatte quer in die Bodenplatte hinein ersteckende, nach oben offene Nut und als am unteren Ende der Fahne korrespondierend zur Nut vorgesehener Fortsatz ausgebildet ist, wobei die Fahne jeweils von der Seite her in die Nut der Bodenplatte einsetzbar ist, daß jede Fahne mit mindestens einer als Griffloch dienenden Ausnehmung versehen ist und daß zwischen der Nut der Bodenplatte und dem Fortsatz der Fahne eine Schnapp-Sicherung vorgesehen ist, die von einer sich quer zur Nut bzw. zur Fahne erstreckenden, einstückig mit einem der Teile ausgebildeten Erhebung und einer korrespondierenden Einbuchtung am Gegenstück gebildet ist, wobei diese Schnapp-Sicherung durch seitliches Verschieben der Fahne gegenüber der Bodenplatte lösbar ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the device has a plurality of marking sets, each of which is formed from at least two floor plates and a flag, the marking sets being arranged on adjacent lanes in such a way that at least one row of floor plates without Flags are each provided along a lane and a row of floor plates equipped with flags is provided along a further adjacent lane and the connecting device as a groove which extends transversely into the base plate from at least one side of the base plate and is open at the bottom and corresponds to the lower end of the flag is provided to the groove extension, the flag can be inserted from the side into the groove of the base plate, that each flag is provided with at least one recess serving as a grip hole and that a snap between the groove of the base plate and the extension of the flag Fuse is provided t, which is formed by a transversely to the groove or to the flag, integrally formed with one of the parts elevation and a corresponding indentation on the counterpart, this snap-locking is releasable by lateral displacement of the flag relative to the base plate.
Erfindungsgemäß kann man zwecks Änderung einer Fahrspur die Fahne schnell aus der Bodenplatte entfernen, wobei keinerlei Manipulationen, insbesondere keine Manipulationen mit einem Werkzeug erforderlich sind, und ebenso schnell und wiederum ohne die Notwendigkeit von zeitaufwendigen Manipulationen in eine bereits auf der Fahrbahn an der gewünschten Stelle befestigte Bodenplatte einsetzen, wodurch nur eine kurze Zeitspanne zum Versetzen einer Fahrspur notwendig ist, so daß auch ein Versetzen einer sich über mehrere Kilometer erstreckenden Fahrspur ohne wesentliche Verkehrsbehinderung möglich ist.According to the invention, for the purpose of changing a lane, the flag can be quickly removed from the base plate, with no manipulations, in particular no manipulations with a tool, and just as quickly and in turn without the need for time-consuming manipulations in an already fastened on the road at the desired location Use a floor slab, which means that only a short period of time is necessary to move a lane, so that it is also possible to move a lane extending over several kilometers without significant traffic disruption.
Aus der DE-A 3 412 999 ist eine Absperrbake zur kanalisierenden Verkehrsführung in Verschwenkbereichen vor Autobahnbaustellen bekannt, die eine Sockelplatte und einen in dieser formschlüssig verankerten aufstehenden Signalbildträger aufweist. Die Sockelplatte dieser bekannten Absperrbake wird an der Fahrbahn nicht befestigt, weshalb sie von darüberrollenden Fahrzeugen verschoben werden kann. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser bekannten Absperrbake ist darin zu sehen, daß der Signalbildträger beim Überrollen oder durch starke Windkräfte aus seiner Verankerung in der Sockelplatte gerissen wird.DE-A 3 412 999 discloses a barrier beacon for channeling traffic routing in pivoting areas in front of motorway construction sites, which has a base plate and an upstanding signal image carrier anchored in it in a form-fitting manner. The base plate of this known barrier beacon is not attached to the roadway, which is why it can be moved by vehicles rolling over it. Another disadvantage of this known barrier beacon is the fact that the signal image carrier is torn from its anchoring in the base plate when it is rolled over or by strong wind forces.
Aus der DE-A 2 522 935 und der DE-A 3 033 660 sind Straßenmarkierungsnägel mit an Bodenplatten lösbar montierten, Reflektorteile tragenden und von den Bodenplatten emporragenden Markierungsfahnen bekannt. Die Markierungsfahnen sind hierbei nachträglich an den bereits auf der Fahrbahn befestigten Bodenplatten befestigbar und von diesen lösbar, jedoch sind die Verbindungsmittel zwischen Markierungsfahnen und Bodenplatten kompliziert gestaltet und können nur mittels eines Werkzeuges oder umständlicher Manipulationen betätigt werden.From DE-A 2 522 935 and DE-A 3 033 660, road marking nails with marking flags releasably mounted on base plates, carrying reflector parts and projecting from the base plates are known. The flags can be subsequently attached to and detached from the floor slabs already fastened to the roadway, but the connecting means between the flags and floor slabs are complicated and can only be actuated using a tool or laborious manipulations.
Aus der EP-A 20 134 607 ist eine Leiteinrichtung zur Baustellensicherung mit einer Ständerplatte bekannt, in die ein Ständerprofil eingesetzt ist, wobei das Ständerprofil mittels mechanischer Mittel formschlüssig in einer Ausnehmung der Ständerplatte verspannbar ist. Auch hierbei ist ein Lösen des Ständerprofiles von der Ständerplatte mit zeitraubenden Manipulationen verbunden.EP-A 20 134 607 discloses a guide device for securing the construction site with a stand plate into which a stand profile is inserted, the stand profile being able to be positively clamped in a recess in the stand plate by means of mechanical means. Here, too, detaching the stand profile from the stand plate is associated with time-consuming manipulations.
Aus der EP-A 10125 817 ist eine Einrichtung zum Verlegen eines Spurteilers bekannt, wobei der Spurteiler aus in Form einer Gliederkette aneinander angelenkten, auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche aufliegenden, erhabenen Teilen gebildet ist. Diese Teile können mittels einer bogenförmig gestalteten Aufnahme von einer Seite einer Fahrbahn auf die andere Seite der Fahrbahn verlegt werden. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß ein einfaches Verlegen des Fahrbahnteilers nur dann möglich ist, wenn dieser mit der Fahrbahn nicht verbunden ist, d.h. lose auf der Fahrbahn aufliegt. Im Falle des Verklebens müssen die Teile erst von der Fahrbahn gelöst und nach Verbringen in die neue Position wiederum mit der Fahrbahn verklebt werden, was umständlich und mit Wartezeiten verbunden ist.A device for laying a track divider is known from EP-A 10125 817, the track divider being formed from raised parts which are articulated in the form of a link chain and rest on the road surface. These parts can be moved from one side of a carriageway to the other side of the carriageway by means of an arch-shaped receptacle. The disadvantage here is that a simple laying of the roadway divider is only possible if it is not connected to the roadway, i.e. lies loosely on the road. In the case of gluing, the parts first have to be detached from the road and, after being moved to the new position, glued to the road again, which is cumbersome and involves waiting times.
Aus der GB-A 1 560 288 ist ein Straßenmarkierungsnagel bekannt, der in eine an der Fahrbahn vorgesehene Bohrung einsetzbar ist und gegenüber dieser durch ein dübelartiges Verbindungsmittel fixierbar ist. Auf den Markierungsnagel ist eine Hülse aufsetzbar, die jedoch als Fahrbahnteiler nicht verwendbar ist, da sie nicht überfahrbar ist.A road marking nail is known from GB-A 1 560 288, which can be inserted into a bore provided on the roadway and can be fixed relative to it by a dowel-like connecting means. A sleeve can be placed on the marking nail, but it cannot be used as a road divider since it cannot be driven over.
Aus der FR-A 1 150 240 ist ein Fahrspurbegrenzer mit einem in der Fahrbahn einsetzbaren Stein bekannt, der eine zur Seite hin offene schwalbenschwanzförmige Nut aufweist, in die eine Fahne von der Seite her einschiebbar ist. Da der Stein, um überrollt werden zu können, so weit in die Fahrbahn versenkt werden muß, bis die Nut mit ihrer Seitenöffnung unterhalb der Fahrbahnoberfläche liegt, ist es erforderlich, zum Ein- bzw. Ausbau der Fahne den Stein aus der Fahrbahn herauszuheben, wodurch er für eine wahlweise Begrenzung einer Fahrspur ungeeignet ist.From FR-A 1 150 240 a lane limiter is known with a stone that can be used in the lane and has a dovetail-shaped groove that is open to the side and into which a flag can be inserted from the side. Since the stone, in order to be able to be rolled over, must be sunk into the road until the groove with its side opening lies below the surface of the road, it is necessary to lift the stone out of the road to install or remove the flag, thereby it is unsuitable for optionally limiting a lane.
Die Erfindung ist nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert, wobei Fig. 1 eine Frontansicht eines Fahrspurbegrenzers und Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht desselben in Richtung des Pfeiles II der Fig. 1 zeigen. Die Fig. 3 und 4 veranschaulichen jeweils einen Autobahnabschnitt mit Gegenverkehrsbereich bei einer Baustelle, wobei Fig. 3 den Gegenverkehrsbereich mit zwei Spuren in die eine erste Richtung und einer Fahrspur in die entgegengesetzte Richtung und Fig. 4 nur eine Fahrspur in die erste Richtung und zwei Fahrspuren in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zeigen.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which Fig. 1 shows a front view of a lane limiter and Fig. 2 shows a side view of the same in the direction of arrow II of Fig. 1. 3 and 4 each illustrate a highway section with oncoming traffic area at a construction site, with FIG. 3 the oncoming traffic area with two lanes in one first direction and one lane in the opposite direction, and FIG. 4 only one lane in the first direction and two Show lanes in the opposite direction.
Die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Fahrspurbegrenzers weist eine von oben gesehen rechteckige Bodenplatte 1 auf, die als niedriger Pyramidenstumpf ausgebildet ist. Die Unterseite 2 der Bodenplatte ist mit einem Gitterrücken 3 versehen, der die Haftung eines Klebers, mit dem die Bodenplatte auf einer Fahrbahn aufgeklebt werden kann, vergrößert. In den schrägen Seitenflächen 4 der Bodenplatte können Rückstrahler 5 eingegossen sein. Die Bodenplatte 1 ist vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff gefertigt.The embodiment of a lane limiter shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a rectangular base plate 1, seen from above, which is designed as a low truncated pyramid. The underside 2 of the base plate is provided with a mesh back 3, which increases the adhesion of an adhesive with which the base plate can be glued to a roadway. Reflectors 5 can be cast into the sloping side surfaces 4 of the base plate. The base plate 1 is preferably made of rubber or plastic.
In eine Ausnehmung 6 der Bodenplatte 1 ist eine Fahne 7, die vorzugsweise aus Gummi oder Kunststoff gefertigt ist, eingesetzt. Zur Halterung der Fahne 7 in der Bodenplatte 1 dient eine Verbindungseinrichtung, die in der Bodenplatte 1 als T-förmige oder schwalbenschwanzförmige, nach oben offene Nut ausgebildet ist. Die Nut 8 ist zumindest nach einer schrägen Seitenfläche 4 der Bodenplatte hin offen und erstreckt sich parallel zur Längsseite der Bodenplatte 1 quer durch deren Oberseite 9, so daß die Fahne 7 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 10 in die Bodenplatte 1 von der Seite her eingeschoben bzw. in der entgegengesetzten Richtung aus der Bodenplatte 1 entfernt werden kann, ohne daß die Bodenplatte von der Fahrbahn entfernt werden muß. Zur Verbindungseinrichtung gehört weiters ein am unteren Ende der Fahne 7 angeordneter T-förmiger oder schwalbenschwanzförmiger Fortsatz 11, dessen Querschnitt korrespondierend zum Querschnitt der Nut 8 ausgebildet ist. Die Fahne 7 kann ebenfalls mit rückstrahlenden Einrichtungen 12, beispielsweise mit einer rückstrahlenden Folie, versehen sein.In a
In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist das Umstecken der Fahnen auf einer Autobahnfahrbahn 19 mit Gegenverkehr dargestellt. Eine der Fahrbahnen ist z.B. durch eine Baustelle 20 für längere Zeit blockiert. Je nach Verkehrsaufkommen soll die Gegenfahrbahn 19 zwei Fahrspuren 21, 22 stadtauswärts und eine 23 stadteinwärts oder eine Fahrspur 21 stadtauswärts und zwei Fahrspuren 22', 23 stadteinwärts aufweisen. Zu diesem Zweck sind an den beiden Rändern 24 der mittleren Fahrspur 22 Bodenplatten 1 der erfindungsgemäßen Fahrspurbegrenzer befestigt, beispielsweise aufgeklebt.3 and 4 the repositioning of the flags on a
Gemäß Fig. 3 ist die stadteinwärts führende Fahrspur 23 zu den stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren 21, 22 durch jeweils in die Bodenplatten 1 eingesetzte Fahnen 7 deutlich sichtbar abgegrenzt. Zwischen den beiden benachbarten stadtauswärts führenden Fahrspuren sind lediglich Bodenplatten 1 ohne Fahnen befestigt, welche Bodenplatten 1 als Markiernägel dienen, die zum Zweck des Überholens überfahren werden dürfen.3, the
Sollen beispielsweise zur Aufnahme des in die Stadt rückflutenden Verkehrs zwei Fahrspuren 22', 23 stadteinwärts zur Verfügung gestellt werden, werden die zwischen den Fahrspuren 22 und 23 angeordneten Fahnen 7 aus den Bodenplatten 1 entfernt, wobei die Bodenplatten 1 auf der Fahrbahn 19 verbleiben, und in die zwischen den benachbarten Fahrspuren 21, 22 angeordneten Bodenplatten eingesetzt. Dieser Vorgang kann, da die Bodenplatten 1 an Ort und Stelle verbleiben, schnell und einfach durchgeführt werden, beispielsweise von einem Auto aus, das die mittlere Fahrspur 22 (bzw. 22') entlangfährt.
