Replacement of Traffic Signs

Renew traffic signs instead of replacing them

"Visibility principle and regulations for exchange"

...

The administrative regulations pertaining to Sections 39 to 43 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) stipulate that traffic signs must be retroreflective or illuminated. Regarding photometric requirements, reference is made to DIN EN 12899-1 "Fixed vertical road traffic signs" and the relevant regulations of the German Road and Transportation Research Association (FGSV). Furthermore, the traffic signs must be marked on the reverse side with the CE marking and the RAL quality mark. The photometric properties of traffic signs are subject to an aging process. Weathering and soiling reduce their visual quality.

The ADAC (German Automobile Club) recommends replacing traffic signs when their specific retroreflective value falls below 60% of the minimum value when new (warning value) or after 15 years at the latest. However, the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) do not contain such a specific rule.

Overall, there is no fixed regulation for replacing traffic signs of a certain age. Rather, the road traffic authorities must ensure that the signs remain sufficiently recognizable at all times. They can use various criteria to assess the condition of the traffic signs, in particular their retroreflective properties and age.
