Claim One:
1. A traffic system for track-guided vehicles which includes at least one vehicle axle having axle means connected with steerable wheels, the traffic system comprising a road-associated guide means for defining a drive track, a guide lever means arranged on the vehicle for detecting a course of the guide means, and further means for transmitting movements of the guide lever means indirectly to the steerable wheels including an auxiliary energy assisted force and movement transmission means, characterized in that the guide lever means is pivotally connected to the axle means, means are provided for limiting a pivotal deflection of the guide lever means over a relatively small angular path corresponding only to a fraction of a maximum deflection angle of the steerable wheels, the means for transmitting movements of the guide lever means includes means for defining a force-flow transmission path of the guide lever means between the guide means and the axle means and for enabling the vehicle to be track-guided along the guide means in a damage-free and operationally reliable manner without a deflection of the steerable wheels and in that a track directional detection means is provided for detecting at least approximately the direction of the guide means relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle including a detection lever means pivotally connected at a free end of the guide lever means.
