Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / road traffic signals | | German term or phrase: Pförtnerschaltung | Hi all
here we have a term from the world of highways engineering. There's an associated term "Pförtnerampel". I believe I'm in the realms of "approach-controlled" signalling here but not 100% sure.
Context:
"entsprechende Pförtnerschaltungen ... können abhängig von der lokalen Situation die Verlagerung (des Problems) ermöglichen"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Reference information:
"Pförtnerschaltung" is the term for a traffic signal that switches depending on the traffic situation BEHIND the signal. It's used for regulating traffic flowing onto highways without acceleration lane and the like. A "Pförtnerschaltung" switches to green if the traffic on the highway allows interweaving without the danger of accidents. Maybe a collegue knows of the appropriate english term (if it exists at all).
