forgangsreglur

Forgangsreglur, or priority rules, are a set of traffic rules that determine which road user may proceed at points where paths intersect, merge, or cross. Their primary purpose is to prevent collisions and to ensure smooth traffic flow. Forgangsreglur apply at intersections, pedestrian crossings, merging lanes, roundabouts, and when vehicles approach junctions from different directions. Road signs, signals, and road markings can override general priority rules, providing specific instructions for a given location.

In general, the rules establish who has the right of way in various situations. When signs or markings designate a priority, those indications take precedence. In the absence of explicit signs, many systems assign priority to traffic on the main road or, at uncontrolled intersections, follow traditional rules such as yielding to traffic approaching from the right. Roundabouts typically assign priority to vehicles already circulating inside the circle. Pedestrians have priority at marked crossings, and drivers must stop or slow to allow them to cross safely. Emergency and other emergency-response vehicles have the highest priority, and other road users must yield to them when they are responding to an incident.

Drivers must use signals and make safe, deliberate decisions when negotiating turns, merges, and lane changes. Violations of forgangsreglur can result in fines, points, or more severe penalties, depending on the jurisdiction. Because local regulations vary, drivers should become familiar with the specific forgangsreglur of their country or region, including any unique rules for bikes, mopeds, and heavy vehicles. In practice, these rules aim to reduce confusion and enhance safety for all road users.
