Zulässige Höchstgeschwindigkeit — Speed limit
Zeichen 274, StVO Anlage 2: you may not drive faster than the figure shown. It is a ceiling in ideal conditions, not a target — §3 Abs. 1 StVO still requires you to be able to stop within the distance you can see to be clear. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
In rain, fog, snow or heavy traffic the legal speed is often far below the number on the sign. And below 50 m visibility in fog, snow or rain, §3 Abs. 1 caps you at 50 km/h regardless of what the sign says.
What you are looking at
White disc, thick red rim, a large black number (e.g. 50).
Remember it like this
It ends at Zeichen 278, at Zeichen 282, at an Ortstafel — and nowhere else by itself.
Easy to confuse with — the exam exploits these
Verbotszeichen (Prohibition) — you may not. usually a red 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.
