A method and an apparatus for controlling the flow of traffic. To this end, the information about the period of time before a set of traffic lights changes to another traffic light phase is used to provide the driver of a vehicle with a speed recommendation for approaching the traffic lights. In order to improve the ascertainment of the speed recommendation, provision is made for a database to be used to store the position (P) and the change times (Si) of a set of traffic lights and for the position and change times to be able to be retrieved by a vehicle via a mobile radio communication link, and for the driver of the vehicle to be provided with the speed recommendation using this information. |
