Control plan
The rule plan (also rule sheet ) is a traffic sign plan and serves to secure work places on roads . Applicable guidelines are the guidelines for the safety of workplaces on roads (RSA). The rule plan includes the location and selection of traffic signs and lane markings that are necessary to secure the workplace. In order to standardize and improve the applicability of the regulation, a large number of typical construction site situations have been compiled in parts B, C and D of the RSA. Regular plans are tailored to frequently recurring standard situations. These are sketches or samples and as such rule plans are a means of making work easier. There is no regulation that prescribes their application: They neither have the character of a regulation (such as the StVO), nor can conclusions be drawn from them about the scaled details of a job. There is no need to submit a standard plan to the competent authority, but a traffic sign plan that shows the work site with the corresponding safety measures.
A rule plan can be adopted unchanged if it fits the traffic situation or if it is modified so that it forms the basic building block for a traffic sign plan. Freehand drawings can also be submitted. The standard plans for motorway construction sites of shorter duration (D III) shown in the RSA are rarely used in practice due to safety concerns (e.g. increased truck traffic). In the meantime, these D III control plans have been replaced by new control plans that have been published in the TLP warning thresholds 2014 ( Verkehrsblatt issue 4/2015), but have not yet been transferred to the RSA.
