Gemeinsamer Geh- und Radweg — Shared foot and cycle path
Vorschriftzeichen · Mandatory

In plain English

Both symbols stacked with NO dividing line. Everyone uses the whole width — which is why pedestrians step sideways without looking, quite legally.

What you are looking at

Blue disc with a white pedestrian above and a white bicycle below, no line between them.

Remember it like this

No line = share everything. A line = each side stays in its half.

Easy to confuse with — the exam exploits these

Vorschriftzeichen (Mandatory) — you must. usually a blue circle. Checked against StVO Anlage 1–3 on 2026-08-03.

Original practice questions — not the amtlicher Fragenkatalog. Every question, sign description and scenario here is written by us and covers the same StVO rules as the official Klasse B test. We are not TÜV, DEKRA or a Fahrschule, and we do not reproduce the official catalogue. Road signs themselves are amtliche Werke (StVO Anlage 1–3). Rules checked against StVO and FeV on 2026-08-03.

Fines and Punkte are indicative. The amounts shown come from published Bußgeldkatalog tables, not from statute, and are last verified 2026-08-03. The binding figure is the one on your own Bußgeldbescheid.
