Questions Learners Have About One-Way Streets

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

What is the main sign for a one-way street in Germany?

The main sign for a one-way street (Einbahnstraße) in Germany is a blue rectangular sign with a large white arrow pointing in the direction of permitted travel (Zeichen 220).

Can cyclists always ride against the traffic flow in a German one-way street?

No, cyclists can only ride against the traffic flow in a German one-way street if a specific supplementary sign, typically a blue square sign showing a bicycle and two arrows (one pointing against the main flow), is present. Otherwise, they must follow the general one-way rule.

Is it permitted to park on both sides of a one-way street in Germany?

Yes, in Germany, it is generally permitted to park and stop on both the right and left sides of a one-way street, provided there is enough space and width for other traffic to pass safely. Always check for specific local parking restrictions.

What should a driver do if they accidentally enter a one-way street from the wrong direction?

If you accidentally enter a one-way street from the wrong direction (indicated by a 'no entry' sign), you must stop immediately, not proceed further, and reverse safely to exit the street as soon as possible, ensuring you do not endanger other road users.

What does the 'no entry' sign mean in relation to one-way streets?

The 'no entry' sign (Zeichen 267), a red circle with a white horizontal bar, is typically placed at the entry point of a one-way street against the designated traffic direction. It explicitly prohibits vehicles from entering that street from that side.
