Construction site: Issuance of construction site orders under traffic law
Workplaces that have an impact on road traffic, such as:
- Excavations in the street space
- Road construction
- Working in the side space
- Erection of a scaffolding
must be secured.
Before starting the work, the contractor must obtain instructions from the competent authority (with the submission of a road sign plan) on how to close off and mark the work site and how to restrict, regulate and direct traffic.
Process flow
Already in the planning phase of the workplace, the entrepreneur must check which traffic safety measures are necessary and appropriate on the basis of the special local conditions. A written application for an order for road safety measures must then be submitted to the traffic authority.
The transport authority examines the application and the documents submitted and hears the bodies to be involved (police and road authorities). If necessary, a site visit is carried out with all parties involved in order to coordinate the necessary measures on site. The necessary measures are then ordered by the transport authority vis-à-vis the contractor who has to carry out these measures.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the district, the district-free city, the large independent city and the independent municipality.
For municipal roads, responsibility can be transferred to the respective municipality, joint municipality and city.
If the licensing authority is located within Lower Saxony, the Lower Saxony State Authority for Road Construction and Transport (NLStBV) will act as the road construction authority for the
- Federal motorways,
- federal and state roads, as well as
- the district roads under the technical administration of the state (especially with regard to construction sites and bridge structures)
heard by the competent authority.
