Abstract
In a method for coding traffic hindrances encroaching on the street, in digitally coded traffic messages which contain, as elements, a location on a street and the extent and the direction of the traffic hindrance and which are decoded on the basis of a location table, in reported traffic hindrances that extend, based on their size, beyond a junction onto a different street, a further element codes the information, on which of the bifurcating streets, in which direction, and how far, the reported traffic hindrance extends.
