Illegal U-turn on Mercatorstraße in Duisburg despite no-U-turn restriction

Bug Reports

ABRP plans an illegal U-turn on Mercatorstraße in Duisburg, Germany, at the intersection near Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße / Ankerbrunnen.

At this location, traffic is required to continue straight ahead and U-turns are explicitly prohibited by traffic signs.

Nevertheless, ABRP routes the vehicle southbound on Mercatorstraße and then instructs it to make a U-turn at this intersection in order to continue northbound again.

This manoeuvre is not legally permitted and ABRP should calculate an alternative legal route.

I have attached:

  • a screenshot showing the incorrect ABRP route

  • a Google Street View image showing the traffic signs at the intersection

I also pressed the ABRP bug-report button while the affected route was displayed on 14 August 2026 at approximately 12:59 CEST.

Where does this happen?

      Changes have been made for this part of Mercatorstraße and will be visible next week on friday in ABRP. Let us know if the issue still persists then.
