Mandatory signs (Gebotszeichen) are typically round, blue with white symbols, indicating a required action or direction, like 'turn right ahead'. Prohibitory signs (Verbotzeichen) are usually round, white with a red border and often a black symbol, indicating something that is forbidden, such as 'no entry' or 'no overtaking'.
The 'no stopping' sign (Zeichen 283) is a blue circle with a red diagonal line through it. It strictly prohibits stopping for any reason, even briefly, unless forced by traffic. The 'no parking' sign (Zeichen 286) is a blue circle with a red border and a single diagonal line from top-left to bottom-right. It allows stopping for up to three minutes for quick loading/unloading or picking up/dropping off passengers, provided the driver stays near the vehicle to move it if necessary.
Many signs apply to all vehicles, but some are specific (e.g., 'no trucks'). Additionally, certain exceptions exist. For example, electric vehicles may be exempted from some prohibitory signs with a specific supplementary sign (Zusatzzeichen), and severely disabled persons may have permits allowing extended parking in 'no parking' zones (Eingeschränktes Haltverbot) as per StVO regulations.
This sign (Zeichen 280), a white round sign with several diagonal grey/black stripes, indicates the end of all previously imposed speed limits, overtaking bans, and other regulatory restrictions that were active on that road section, unless a new sign immediately imposes a different restriction.
Yes, there are mandatory directional signs (Zeichen 209-214) that prescribe the direction of travel (e.g., 'straight ahead' or 'turn right'). These are distinct from mere informational signs, as they enforce a specific action and drivers must follow them. The 'Einbahnstraße' (Zeichen 220) also prescribes a mandatory direction for traffic.
By completing Mandatory & Prohibitory Signs, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
