Traffic safety posts can be used for traffic safety at intersections , motorway forks , lane narrowings , motorway entrances and at stopping columns . Motorcycle detectors are often used as mobile security posts to secure convoy journeys. You point out other road users of a danger, but you have no police authority to regulate or issue instructions . The equipment usually includes a safety vest and a stop rod .

In accordance with Section 35 of the StVO, certain groups, in particular fire brigades, are granted special rights, which are specifically specified in the individual laws.

Road safety posts are also used by the fire brigade in traffic accidents . Here, too, except in Bavaria, there is no police authority to regulate or issue instructions, with the exception that traffic may be stopped if there is a threat to people, animals or property. The stopped traffic may only be released by the police. A rerouting of the traffic or the indication of possible alternative routes is only allowed on the instructions of the police.

The state authority determines whether these regulations apply in its administrative regulations on road traffic regulations.
