Abbiegemanöver

Abbiegemanöver refers to the maneuver of turning a vehicle, typically a car or bicycle, at an intersection or other designated point. This action involves a change in direction, usually from moving forward to moving sideways. In most jurisdictions, specific rules govern how these maneuvers should be executed to ensure the safety of all road users.

Key aspects of an Abbiegemanöver include signaling intentions, checking for traffic, and yielding to pedestrians and other vehicles when necessary. Drivers are expected to indicate their intended turn well in advance by using turn signals or hand signals. They must then carefully assess the surrounding traffic situation, looking for oncoming vehicles, vehicles in adjacent lanes, and any cyclists or pedestrians who may be crossing the path of the turn.

In many countries, the law dictates whether a turn may be made on a red light. This is often permitted after a complete stop and when it is safe to do so, but it is usually prohibited on a red arrow. Cyclists performing an Abbiegemanöver on a bicycle must also follow similar principles, often using hand signals to communicate their intentions. Proper execution of an Abbiegemanöver is crucial for preventing accidents and maintaining smooth traffic flow.
