Questions Learners Have About Blocked Junction Visibility

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

What is the 'creep-and-peek' technique at a junction?

The 'creep-and-peek' technique involves slowly edging your vehicle forward at a junction with limited visibility until you have a clear view of oncoming traffic, stopping immediately if any traffic, pedestrians, or cyclists appear.

Does 'Rechts-vor-links' still apply if I cannot see traffic from the right?

Yes, the 'Rechts-vor-links' rule still applies. If your view is blocked, you must assume there is traffic from the right and proceed with extreme caution, yielding to any vehicle that may appear, even if you couldn't see it until late.

What are the rules for parking near junctions in Germany to avoid blocking visibility?

In Germany, parking is generally prohibited within 5 meters before and after intersections or junctions. If a bicycle path is physically separated from the roadway, this distance increases to 8 meters before intersections, to ensure clear sightlines for all road users, as per StVO § 12.

Who is responsible if an accident occurs because my view was blocked by a parked car?

The driver exiting the junction with a blocked view is primarily responsible for ensuring the path is clear. While the illegally parked vehicle may share some liability, the burden of avoiding an accident usually falls on the driver who entered the junction with impaired visibility.

How can I anticipate cyclists or pedestrians suddenly appearing from behind parked vehicles?

Always anticipate that vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians might emerge suddenly from behind parked vehicles or other obstructions. When using the 'creep-and-peek' technique, stop completely if necessary, and actively scan for movement before proceeding, especially in residential areas.
