Locations of light sign systems (traffic lights) in Düsseldorf

The data set contains the locations and numbers of the light sign systems in Düsseldorf. Traffic lights are used to control road traffic. They are used where other safe traffic handling is no longer possible due to traffic density or local conditions. In Düsseldorf, certain traffic lights are switched depending on traffic in order to be able to adapt to the changing traffic situations as needed. This refers in particular to public transport, which receives a need-oriented approval in the sense of public transport acceleration. In order to allow traffic to flow more quickly, there are road sections on which the traffic lights are switched as a “green wave”. Düsseldorf pedestrian ramps have a peculiarity that only exists here. Only in Düsseldorf have pedestrian ramps a “yellow time”, as is the case with car traffic lights. This means that pedestrians can continue without hurry when you're on the way over. If they are still standing on the sidewalk, it is said to stop and no longer enter the route. In case of damage to traffic lights, please contact the Traffic Management Office, phone 0211-89 93 996.
