Haltlinie — Stop line
Zeichen 294, StVO Anlage 2. A solid white transverse line marking where you must stop at a Stop sign, a red light or a rail crossing. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
The line your front bumper must not cross. If it is missing at a Stop sign, you stop where you can actually see — which is usually further forward, and that is legal.
What you are looking at
A thick solid white bar painted across the lane, at right angles to the direction of travel.
Remember it like this
Solid line across = a wall. Dashed line across (Wartelinie) = a suggestion of where to wait.
Easy to confuse with — the exam exploits these
Vorfahrtzeichen (Priority) — who goes first — the one family with its own shapes. 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.
