Kinder — Children
Gefahrzeichen · Warning

In plain English

Schools, playgrounds, housing estates. Children misjudge speed, act on impulse, and are short enough to be completely hidden by one parked car.

What you are looking at

Upright red-bordered triangle with two black child figures, one running ahead of the other.

Remember it like this
