Abstract
In order to recognize hazard areas and/or construction areas on a roadway, an environment sensor produces detected environment data regarding objects indicating the hazard areas and/or construction areas. A traffic light system is detected in the environment data, position data of the traffic light system is determined, an environment scenario is determined from the environment data and is compared with a reference model of the environment scenario. If the reference model does not indicate the presence of a traffic light system, or indicates a traffic light system having position data differing from the position data of the detected traffic light system, then it is concluded that the detected traffic light system is a traffic light system identifying a hazard and/or construction area.
