Construction site order for work sites on roads

Please note in particular our information under:

  • Performance specification

    The contractor must already check which traffic safety measures are necessary and appropriate during the planning phase of the work site based on the local conditions. A written application must then be submitted to the traffic authority for the traffic safety measures to be ordered.

    The traffic authority examines the application and the documents submitted and consults the authorities to be involved (police and road construction authority). If necessary, a site inspection is carried out with all parties involved in order to coordinate the necessary measures on site. The necessary measures are then ordered by the traffic authority to be carried out by the contractor.
