Questions Learners Have About Urban Turns & Priority

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

What are the main rules for turning left at German intersections?

When turning left in Germany, you must always yield to oncoming traffic that is continuing straight or turning right. You also need to yield to pedestrians and cyclists crossing the road you are turning into, even if you have a green light, as per StVO § 9 (3).

Is it always forbidden to turn right on a red light in Germany?

Turning right on a red light is generally forbidden in Germany. The only exception is if there is a 'Grünpfeil' (green arrow) sign next to the traffic light. Even then, you must first stop completely at the stop line and ensure no one is endangered before proceeding carefully, as outlined in StVO § 37.

Who has priority when turning right and a cyclist is also going straight?

When turning right, you must always yield to cyclists (and pedestrians) who are continuing straight or turning into the road you are entering, even if you have a green light for your turn. They have priority over your turning manoeuvre, as per StVO § 9 (3).

Can I enter an intersection if traffic is backed up on the other side?

No, you must never enter an intersection if you cannot clear it, even if you have a green light or priority. This is to prevent blocking the intersection and impeding cross-traffic, a rule covered in StVO § 11 (1).

How should I position my vehicle for turns at intersections in Germany?

For a right turn, position your vehicle as far to the right as possible. For a left turn, move towards the middle of the road, or as far left as possible on a one-way street, always signaling your intention well in advance. This is regulated by StVO § 9 (1).
