Report defective traffic signs or traffic lights

Traffic on public roads is regulated by traffic signs and traffic facilities for reasons of safety and order, climate and environmental protection, health and urban development.

Traffic signs include, for example

• Traffic signs
• road markings
• traffic lights

Traffic facilities are, for example

• red and white striped barriers
• Bollards and barrier railings
• parking ticket machines

Your road traffic authority is responsible for traffic signs and equipment. Defective or improperly installed traffic signs or traffic lights can become a danger on the road. The road traffic authority relies on faults being reported promptly.

If you notice a fault or damage, you can report it.

This may concern, for example

• Traffic lights
  • failure
  • faulty timing
  • Individual lights defective
  • Call button defective
  • Signal tone for blind and visually impaired people defective
  • Traffic light pole twisted or crooked
• Traffic signs
  • Traffic sign destroyed, dirty or covered with stickers
  • Traffic sign with anti-constitutional symbols
  • Traffic sign faded
  • Pole twisted or crooked
  • Traffic sign overgrown
• Defective crosswalk lighting

Describe the damage and give an exact location. Ideally, you should document the damage with a photo. You must make sure that you own the rights to the photo and that no persons or license plates are recognizable.
