Signage plan
In a signage plan (also road sign plan ) all information about the road signs for a new road construction section is shown, but also z. B. as part of a construction site .
For the sake of clarity, the plans are usually created on a scale of 1: 250 or 1: 500. The locations of individual traffic signs are shown with information about which signs are involved (e.g. VZ 206 “stop sign” or VZ 205 “give way”), as well as information about the stationing, length and design of crash barriers . Furthermore, the lane marking is displayed there and specified when and where z. B. an overtaking ban is shown. The lane markings are divided into, among other things, solid broad / narrow lines, interrupted broad / narrow lines and advance notice arrows, which announce a no-overtaking ban.
Since markings and signage are closely related, a "marking and signage plan" is usually made.
Legally, this plan is formally ordered by the responsible road traffic authority (generally not identical to the road construction agency) and is therefore legally binding. If the plan is incorrect, the competent authority may be held liable for accidents. The correct implementation of the plan on site is confirmed in an acceptance report.
Signage plans are also used in connection with a traffic law arrangement for a job in the street area. In the arrangement, the signage plan defines how the signage is to be arranged during the construction period. In many cases, the basis for this is provided by the so-called rule plans according to the guidelines for securing workplaces on roads .
