Your place stays with you.

ViaFrei creates no account and no profile and does not store your place. Your browser remembers a place on this device only when you choose it in the place bar – a place or an address, “Use my location” or “All of Germany” – together with your recent places; while this page uses a remembered place, a line under the place bar says so, and “Forget place” deletes it at once. The page asks for your location only when you choose “Use my location”; if you have already allowed it permanently in your browser, this page reads it without asking and stores nothing. Your location is rounded on your device to an area of about 500 m, and our server derives the street or place name for it from that area; it keeps that name in memory for at most an hour per area, without any link to you, and does not store it. Only right after that click, and only if your browser gives your location to within 150 m, the page sends the exact position once to our server to check whether you are at a station, a fuel station, a charging site or a motorway rest area; it is neither stored nor logged there. It keeps the name of a station, place or address chosen here in memory for at most an hour in the same way. Your IP address is used only in memory, for the approximate location, and is not stored for it. This applies on every page with the place bar, including the station index. On the station index, the place found this way is used only to show the nearest stations and stops. More in the privacy policy

How the traffic light is set
  • Red for a full closure of the carriageway, a wrong-way driver, objects, people or animals on the road, an accident with a closure, a weather warning of level 3–4 or a jam with a delay of 30 minutes or more.
  • Yellow for a shorter jam, roadworks narrowing the road, another traffic warning, a weather warning of level 1–2, slippery roads in the road-weather forecast, a closed entry or exit — or when a source is missing or out of date.
  • Green only when none of this is reported nearby and both the traffic messages and the German Weather Service's warnings for this place can be read. Green is no guarantee of a clear road.
  • Read: every traffic message for this place within 5.0 km (Autobahn GmbH, police, Land and city) and the German Weather Service (warnings, road weather).
  • No colour from: parking, charging, fuel, public transport.

Speed enforcement (planning)

Osterstrasse, Varel

Note on use (§ 23 Abs. 1c StVO): a person driving a vehicle may not, while driving, operate or use any technical device or app function that shows or disrupts traffic enforcement. This also applies to a passenger's smartphone if the driver benefits from it (OLG Karlsruhe). A violation costs €75 and one point in Flensburg. This information is meant only for planning before setting off or during a stop. The locations come from official and open sources and may be incomplete or out of date; mobile checks are possible at any time and anywhere. Always keep to the speed limit in force. Not legal advice.

German original: Hinweis zur Nutzung (§ 23 Abs. 1c StVO): Wer ein Fahrzeug führt, darf während der Fahrt kein technisches Gerät und keine App-Funktion betreiben oder nutzen, die Verkehrsüberwachungsmaßnahmen anzeigt oder stört. Das gilt auch für das Smartphone eines Beifahrers, wenn der Fahrer davon profitiert (OLG Karlsruhe). Verstöße kosten 75 € und einen Punkt in Flensburg. Diese Angaben sind nur zur Planung vor Fahrtantritt oder während eines Halts bestimmt. Die Standorte stammen aus amtlichen und offenen Quellen und können unvollständig oder veraltet sein; mobile Kontrollen sind jederzeit und überall möglich.
