Traffic
German traffic law is made up of a variety of different laws. The most important laws of traffic law are the Road Traffic Act (StVG), the Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), the Road Traffic Authorisation Regulations (StVZO), the Vehicle Registration Ordinance (FZV) and the Driving Licence Ordinance (FeV).
Traffic monitoring measures contribute to improving road safety. Traffic controls are part of traffic monitoring. These are carried out by the general regulatory authorities, the traffic police and the Federal Office of Freight Transport.
The responsibility lies with the municipality, the velvet community and the city.
The National Police Office handles enquiries and communications for the drivers of vehicles carrying goods and passengers, the owners of such vehicles and the companies using such vehicles, as well as the Law on drivers of Motor vehicles and trams (FPersG), the Law on the Basic Qualification and Training of Drivers of Certain Motor Vehicles for Road or Passenger Transport (BKrFQG), the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG), the Law on the Carriage of Persons dangerous goods (GGBefG) and the Road Haulage Act (GüKG).
