Proximity view
The approach view is a visual range at the junction and serves as a parameter for the design of roads. This is the range of vision that a vehicle driver on a subordinate road should have from a distance of 10 m from the edge of the superordinate road in order to be able to detect the crossing traffic in good time. A sufficient close-up view enables safe turning without stopping if necessary. With the help of this visibility, the vehicle driver of the subordinate road recognizes the priority traffic in time and can react correctly. The approach view is particularly important on extra-urban roads for safe traffic flow at intersections. In urban areas, the visual range can often not be maintained for urban planning reasons.
