Driving Rules

Special cases for the right of way

In case the main road changes direction (signal 509) and side roads are entering the junction, for the driver who drives out of the main road into a side street, only the oncoming traffic on the main road has the right of way.

Where in the same place two or more streets with the signal "Stop" (301) or "No right of way" (302) enter into a street with right of way, the vehicle coming from the right has priority.

Vortritt besonderer Fall

Anyone driving from factory, yard or garage exits, from country lanes, cycle paths, parking lots, petrol stations and the like, or via a sidewalk to a main or side street, must grant the users of these streets the right of way.

For vehicles from the fire brigade, medical staff and the police, which announce themselves through blue lights and sirens, all road users must give them priority, also at traffic regulation zones and at traffic lights. If it is impossible to give immediate release of the road, the drivers must move to the footpath, with the necessary caution.
