Zeichen 293, StVO Anlage 2. The white stripes themselves. The StVO adds a parking rule to them: you may not stop on a Fußgängerüberweg or within 5 m before it. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
Stop BEFORE the stripes, never on them. And the 5 m rule exists for one reason: a parked car hides the child stepping out.
