Closed locality
|
The closed place is a fixed term of the German road traffic regulations and describes the spatial connection of (residential) houses. The term serves to delimit this area from the free route and to set up its own traffic regulations. The beginning and the end of the built-up area are indicated to the road user with the help of a yellow place-name sign ( traffic signs 310 and 311 according to Section 42 (2 ) of the StVO ). Signs that deviate from this are not legally binding. The general administrative regulation for road traffic regulations requires that a "closed development on one of the two sides of the road begins recognizable for those driving into town" . There is a closed development "if the adjacent properties are accessed from the street" .
