Questions Learners Have About Diversion Routes

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Diversion Routes, including how questions match the official theory exam in Germany, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What do 'Umleitung' signs look like in Germany?

German 'Umleitung' (diversion) signs are typically yellow with black text and symbols, often showing an arrow indicating the detour direction, and sometimes a number or letter to identify the specific route (Zeichen 454, 455.1).

Am I legally required to follow a diversion sign?

Yes, diversion signs in Germany are legally binding traffic instructions. If a road is closed and a diversion is signed, you must follow the designated route rather than attempting to bypass the closure.

What happens if I get lost or the diversion signs disappear?

If diversion signs become unclear or disappear, you should safely stop, turn back to the last clear sign you saw, and re-evaluate the route. Do not guess or attempt to force your way onto the closed road.

Do normal traffic rules apply on a diversion route?

Yes, all standard German traffic rules, including speed limits, priority rules (like 'Rechts-vor-links'), and road markings, apply on a diversion route just as they would on any other public road.

Can I use my sat-nav instead of following diversion signs?

No, official diversion signs (Umleitungen) take precedence over satellite navigation instructions. Following your sat-nav onto a closed road when a diversion is signed is an offence and can be dangerous.
