New traffic sign: Dorfäckerweg in Aufhausen becomes a dead end!
New traffic signage will come into force in Aufhausen on November 6, 2025. From this date onwards, the Dorfäckerweg will be designated as a dead end. The traffic signs “Dead end” (Vz. 357) and “No turning opportunity for trucks” (Vz. 2033) will be installed at the junction of the local road Steinackerweg and Dorfäckerweg. These measures comply with the regulations in accordance with Section 45 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO), which are implemented by the Sünching administrative community. Aufhausen community reports that this arrangement serves the safety and order of traffic. In addition, the municipality of Aufhausen will be responsible for enforcing this order.
A dead end is usually a street that can only be entered from one side and only exited from that side. ADAC explains that dead ends are marked with traffic sign 357. In many cases, these streets are open to pedestrians and cyclists, while motorized road users are unable to proceed. The identification by additional signs indicates whether a dead end is accessible to certain road users. The general speed rules, which set a maximum speed of 50 km/h in urban areas, also apply to cul-de-sacs, with 30 km/h zones set up in many of them.
Rules and regulations
Parking in dead ends is generally permitted as long as there are no traffic signs preventing it. However, the usual traffic rules must be observed, such as parking on the right side of the road. Fine calculator lists various violations that can result in fines. For example, parking in a dead-end street that is marked as forbidden by traffic signs can be punished with 10 euros. Anyone who parks in the turnaround area and obstructs traffic will face higher penalties.
Special rules apply to reversing on dead ends. In principle it is allowed, but other road users must always be taken into account. Drivers must exercise increased care to avoid danger, especially in dead-end streets with no possibility of turning. Violations of traffic rules, especially reversing despite existing danger, can also be punished with fines.
In summary, it can be said that the new signage in Aufhausen not only serves traffic safety, but also points out the applicable traffic rules in dead ends. It remains to be seen how residents and road users will react to these changes.
