German term or phrase: Hauptlastrichtungen
Aufgrund stark gerichteter Verkehrsströme, insbesondere in Berufsverkehrszeiten und im Wochenendverkehr, kommt es trotz mehrstreifiger Straßenquerschnitte im Zuge von Magistralen zu erheblichen Kapazitätsüberschreitungen in den Hauptlastrichtungen des Verkehrs. Die Reisezeiten der Verkehrsteilnehmer werden häufig extrem verlängert.
