If the courses of two vehicles sailing under the sailing conditions intersect in such a way that there is a risk of a collision, they shall, by way of derogation from Z 1, avoid each other as follows:

if the vehicles do not have the wind from the same side, the vehicle that has the wind from the backboard must yield to the other;

if the vehicles have the wind from the same side, the luvist must yield to the leesside vehicle;

if a vehicle that has the wind of backbord sighs another vehicle in Luv and can't determine with certainty whether this other vehicle has the wind of backbord or of starboard, it has to avoid the other one.

If two vehicles meet each other in such a way that there is a risk of a collision, each vehicle must escape to the starboard so that it passes to each other on the back-board side. This does not apply to small vehicles in respect of vehicles which are not small vehicles.

In the event of encounter, the mountain drivers have to leave a suitable way for the cyclists, taking account of the local circumstances and the rest of the traffic.

Mountain riders who let the Taldrivers pass by the backbord do not give any sign.

Mountain riders, who let the cyclists pass by the starboard, must show on time to starboard:

day: a white strong sparkle light or a light blue flag or blackboard, which is swung, or

at night: a white bright sparkle light, which can be coupled to a light blue board.

If it has to be assumed that the intention of the mountain drivers has not been understood by the riders, the mountain drivers must give the following signs:

"a short sound" if the pre-accession is to take place on the backboard, or

"two short notes" if you want to get to the starboard tax board.

Without prejudice to the provisions of § 6.05, the cyclists shall take the road which the mountain drivers have to follow in accordance with the above provisions; they must reciprocate the points of sight after Z 4 and the sound signs after Z 5, which the mountain drivers must give to them. .

The provisions of Z 1 to 6 shall not apply to small vehicles in respect of vehicles which are not small vehicles, and not to the encounter of small vehicles with one another.

If two small vehicles meet and the danger of a collision could exist, each vehicle must depart to starboard in order to pass on the other side of the back-board.

By way of derogation from the basic rule in accordance with § 6.04, vehicles may, exceptionally, require that the pre-accession take place on starboard; this shall only be permissible if the request can be satisfied in a safe manner.

By way of derogation from § 6.04

passenger ships travelling on a regular basis and whose maximum number of passengers shall not be less than a number determined by the competent authority if they wish to invest in a landing place at a point where the number of passengers is to be placed at a point where the number of passengers is to be placed at a point where the number of passengers is to be Mountain riders are kept on the shore,

towing associations that want to keep a certain shore up to the valley,

In this case, the drivers must give the following signs in good time:

"a short sound" when the way to the backbord is to take place,

"two short notes" and also the visible signs according to § 6.04 Z 4, if the pre-accession is to take place on starboard.

The mountain drivers must comply with the wish of the riders and confirm this as follows:

with "a short sound", if the pre-accession is to take place on the backboard, and in addition, they must remove the visual signs according to § 6.04 Z 4;

with "two short notes" and the line of sight according to § 6.04 Z 4 if the pre-accession is to take place on starboard.

If there is a danger that the skiers ' intentions will not have been understood by the mountain riders, the skiers will have to repeat the sound signs after Z 3.

If the mountain drivers recognise that the route required by the riders is not suitable and that there is a danger of a collision, they must give "a series of very short notes". In order to prevent this danger, the shipyards must take all the necessary measures to deal with the circumstances.

The provisions of Z 1 to 6 shall not apply to small vehicles in respect of vehicles which are not small vehicles, and not to the encounter of small vehicles with one another.

In order to avoid as far as possible an encounter on routes or in places where the water is obviously not sufficiently wide for the encounter (waterways), the following shall apply:

Vehicles must travel through the waterways in as short a time as possible;

in the case of restricted visibility, vehicles must give "a long sound" before entering into a waterway; they must, if necessary, particularly when the end is long, repeat the sound mark during the passage;

on waterways, for which the directions "to the valley" and "to mountain" are determined (e.g. B. in the Danube region):

mountain rolling vehicles or associations which establish that a vehicle or association travelling to the valley is in the process of entering a waterway, must stop below the end until the driver has passed through it;

if a vehicle moving to the mountain or an association has already entered a waterway, vehicles or associations travelling to the valley must remain above the limit to the extent possible, until the mountain driver has passed through them;

on waterways, for which the directions "to valley" and "to mountain" are not determined:

vehicles that do not have an obstacle to starboard, and those who, when the waterway is in a curvature, have the outside of the curvature on starboard, must continue their journey and the other vehicles must wait, until the former have passed through the waterways, but this does not apply to the encounter between small vehicles and vehicles which are not small vehicles;

in the case of a small vehicle under sail with a small vehicle that does not sail under sail, the small vehicle under sail must continue its journey and the other small vehicle must wait for the small vehicle to sail under the sail of the vehicle. the passing of the waterway;

in the case of two vehicles under sail, the vehicle on the air side or, if it is driving in front of the wind, the vehicle that has the wind of starboard, must continue the journey, and the other must wait until the former is the driving water It has gone through.

If the encounter in a waterway is unavoidable, the vehicles must take all the necessary measures to ensure that the encounter takes place in one place and under certain circumstances, which pose as little danger as possible.

When approaching lines marked by A.4 or A.4.1 (Appendix 7), the following shall apply:

on waterways, on which the directions "to valley" and "to mountain" are determined (e.g. B. in the Danube region),

the hillers will have to stop at the rapprochement until the cyclists have passed through the waterways;

on waterways, on which the directions "to the valley" and "to mountain" are not determined,

the relevant provisions of § 6.07 shall apply.

If, on a given route, the competent authorities exclude the situation by allowing them to pass through only in one direction,

the prohibition of transit through a general prohibition sign A.1 (Appendix 7),

permission to pass through a general transit sign E.1 (Appendix 7)

If no signal station is shown in the Danube region for setting the signs according to Z 2, the vehicles must stop and wait until the permission to continue their journey by the authorities of the competent authorities orally, by radio or by telephone. is given by characters.

Overtaking is only permitted after the overhaul has verified that this maneuver can be carried out without danger.

The advance must facilitate the overhaul, as far as this is necessary and possible. If necessary, it must reduce its speed so that the overtaking manoeuvre can be carried out safely and so quickly that the rest of the traffic is not impeded.

In principle, the overtaking vehicle must pass on the back-board side of the overhauled vehicle. If there is no risk of a collision, the overtaking vehicle may also be overhauled on the starboard side of the front-end vehicle. If overtaking is possible without the person ahead having to change course or speed, the overtaking does not give a sound sign.

If the overtaking cannot be carried out without the person in advance changing his course, or if it is to be feared that he has not recognized the intention of the overhaul and thereby the risk of a collision may arise, the Outtake the following sound signs:

"two long notes and two short notes", if he wants to overtake the backbord of the front-running person,

"two long tones and a short sound" when he wants to overtake the front-line driver's starboard.

If the person in advance can meet the request of the overhaul, he/she must leave enough room for the overhaul at the desired side, if necessary, by giving way to the other side, and by giving the following sound marks:

"a short sound" when the overtaking of the backbord is to take place

"two short notes" when the overtaking to starboard is to take place.

If the overtaking is not possible on the one hand, but on the other hand, the front end must give the following sound marks:

"a short sound" when the overtaking on the backboard is possible,

"two short notes", if the overtaking on starboard is possible.

If overtaking is not possible without the risk of a collision, the forward-moving "five short notes" must be provided.

In the case of overtaking between two vehicles under sail, the overtaking must in principle pass by the side from which the front end has the wind. This provision shall not apply if a small vehicle under sail is overtaken by a vehicle under sail.

The provisions of Z 2 to 6 shall not apply to small vehicles in respect of vehicles which are not small vehicles, and not to the overtaking of small vehicles.

Without prejudice to § 6.08 Z 1:

In Austria, overtaking bans in accordance with Z 1 do not apply to small vehicles.

On routes with a prescribed course, it is indicated by the B.1, B.2, B.3 or B.4 (Appendix 7) sign. The end of the track can be indicated by the sign E.11 (Appendix 7).

On such a route, mountain riders shall not in any way obstruct the journey of the cyclists, and in particular when approaching bids B.4, they must, if necessary, reduce or halt their speed in order to ensure that the cyclists are able to manoeuvre their manoeuvres. can end.

Vehicles may only apply after they have verified that the rest of the traffic permits this without danger, and that other vehicles are not forced to change their course or speed immediately.

If the intended maneuver forces other vehicles to deviate from their course or to change their speed, the vehicle that wishes to turn must announce its intention in good time by:

"a long sound and a short sound" when it wants to turn over starboard;

"a long sound and two short notes" if it wants to turn over backbord.

The other vehicles must, if necessary and possible, change their speed and course so that the turn-over can take place without danger. In particular, they must help to ensure that this manoeuvre can be carried out in an appropriate period of time in relation to vehicles which wish to turn up.

The provisions of Z 1 to 3 shall not apply to small vehicles compared with vehicles which are not small vehicles. For small vehicles, only Z 1 and 3 shall apply.

On routes marked by the prohibition sign A.8 (Appendix 7), turning is prohibited. However, if routes are marked by the sign E.8 (Appendix 7), it is recommended that the ship's guide be used there, and this paragraph should be taken into account.

Vehicles may only enter or leave a port or a side waterway or enter or cross into the main waterway after having verified that these manoeuvres can be carried out without the need for: there is a danger and without any other vehicles having to change their course or speed immediately.

Vehicles, other than ferries which intend to manoeuvre a manoeuvre according to Z 1, which may force or force other vehicles to change their course or speed, shall announce their intention in good time as follows:

"three long notes and a short sound", if they want to set their course to starboard before the entrance or after the exit;

If a table sign B.9 (a) or B.9 (b) (Appendix 7) is situated at the exit of a port or on a side waterway, vehicles travelling from the port or the secondary waterway may only enter the main waterway or enter the main waterway. if this maneuver does not compel the vehicles driving on the main waterway to change their course or speed.

Vehicles shall not enter a port or a side waterway if the main waterway is shown in Table A.1 in conjunction with the additional sign according to Appendix 7, Section II Z 2.

If, on the main waterway, Table E.1 is shown in conjunction with the additional sign referred to in Annex 7, Section II, Z 2, vehicles may enter a port or a secondary waterway, even if that manoeuvre is the vehicle on which the vehicle is to be installed. Driving the main waterway, can force to change its course or its speed. They may be extended if the mouth of the mouth is shown in the sign E.1 in conjunction with the additional sign according to Appendix 7, Section II Z 2; in this case, the main waterway shall show the sign B.10 (Appendix 7).

The driving classes shall be prohibited without the authorisation of the competent authority.

Vehicles moving to the valley in the forward direction of the mountain with a forward-running engine are not considered to be driving vehicles, but as a mountain driver.

Vehicles must set up their speed in such a way as to avoid the wave impact or effects which may cause damage to the vehicle or to installations which are in a position to be closed or in use. In particular, they must reduce their speed in good time, but not to the extent necessary to ensure their safe control:

in front of port estuaries;

in the vicinity of vehicles which are fixed on the shore or on runback, or which are loaded or erasable;

in the vicinity of vehicles which are resting on the usual recumbering sites;

This prohibition does not apply to the use of a vehicle with a machine drive as a pre-tensioning device for the passage of sections with an increased flow rate. The pre-credits must lead to the designation in accordance with § 3.14 Z 1 to 3 for the dangerous goods, which requires the largest number of blue cones or lights.

In Austria, the use of thrust and coupling associations, which contain more than one vehicle with a machine drive in accordance with § 1.01 Z 2, is only permissible if the vehicles with a machine drive are expressly approved for this purpose.

coupled to a vehicle with a machine drive;

on short distances for the assembly or erasingof a pusher band;

The vehicle is coupled to a vehicle with a control device and sufficient crew.

Ferries may only cross the waterway if they have verified that the rest of the traffic permits a driverless crossing and other vehicles are not forced to change their course or their speed immediately.

For non-free-running ferries, the following applies in addition:

as long as a ferry is not in operation, it shall take the berth assigned to it by the competent authority; if it is not allocated a berth, it shall be so free that the water remains free;

if the longitudinal cable of a ferry is able to block the water, the ferry on the side of the water which is opposite to the anchorage of the rope shall be stopped only for as long as is strictly necessary for loading and loading; during this period of time, Approaching vehicles from the ferry can demand the release of the running water by giving "a long sound" in good time. In the Danube region, the operation of longitudinal cable ferries is prohibited;

the ferry must no longer be in the running water when the operation requires it.

If the running water is not sufficiently wide for the simultaneous passage in a bridge or weir opening, § 6.07 shall apply.

If the passage of a bridge or a weir opening is permitted and is marked by this opening:

The control of the lock may give orders for the safety and proper functioning of the traffic, the acceleration of the passage or the full exploitation of the locks which supplement or deviate from this paragraph. The vehicles in the locks and in the sluice ports have to comply with these arrangements.

In Austria

the lock closest to the left bank is considered to be the "left lock", the right bank next to the right bank as "right lock";

may be at most 230 m long and 23 m wide and not more than 3 m in length to lock vehicles or associations. The shipowning drivers shall observe the clearance height of the bridges leading through the floodgates or ports, indicated by the sign C.2 (Appendix 7) or by a light-noise level.

Small vehicles have to comply with the special signs for small vehicles set up in the lock area. Sports vehicles which can be carried by the crew over land have to use the relaying facility. If the conversion system is not usable, this is indicated on top of one another at the upper landing area of the conversion system by a red light or two red lights. In this case, these vehicles may use the sluice.

The entrance into the lock is regulated by visual signs on a day and at night, which are shown on one side or on both sides of the lock. These characters mean:

The preroe shall be provided by a certificate issued in accordance with the model of Annex 3 ; this shall be deemed to be a communication The certificate shall be carried on board in the case of the use of the supremity.

In restricted visibility, all vehicles must travel with radar.

Vehicles in travel must, in the case of restricted visibility, drive safe speed with respect to the restricted visibility, presence and movement of other vehicles and local circumstances. They must use radiotelephone to provide other vehicles with the information necessary for safe shipping. In the case of restricted visibility, small-scale vehicles in driving must use the ship-ship or a channel prescribed by the competent authority.

When stopping at restricted visibility conditions, the water is to be released as far as possible.

Vehicles that continue the journey must keep to the right when they meet, as is necessary for a pre-travel on the back board. § 6.04 Z 4, 5 and 6 and § 6.05 shall not apply in the case of limited visibility. However, if the nautical conditions of certain waterways are required by the competent authority, the control board may be allowed to control the starboard.

Towing associations shall immediately seek the next safe berth or anchorage if an agreement is no longer possible by means of visual signs between the annexes and the vehicle with a machine drive. Trawls in the descent can only continue the journey with radar up to the next safe berth or anchorage. The provisions of § 6.33 shall apply to such trawling associations.

In Austria, sports vehicles with a length of less than 20 m in restricted visibility shall immediately release the water.
