Kreisverkehr — Roundabout

Zeichen 215, StVO Anlage 2. You must follow the circulation direction shown, which in right-hand traffic is anticlockwise — you turn right on entry and keep the central island on your left. You may not drive over the island (except oversized vehicles that cannot otherwise get round) and may not stop on the circulating carriageway. Almost always mounted together with Zeichen 205, which is what actually gives priority to traffic already circulating. Verified 2026-08-03.

Kreisverkehr — Roundabout
Vorfahrtzeichen · Priority

In plain English

Three arrows chasing each other anticlockwise in a blue circle. If Zeichen 205 is under it, traffic already going round wins and you wait for a gap. Inside the circle: no stopping on the carriageway, and never across the central island.

What you are looking at

Blue disc with three white curved arrows arranged in a ring, circulating ANTICLOCKWISE (gegen den Uhrzeigersinn) — the direction traffic actually runs round a German roundabout.

Remember it like this

Entry: no indicator. Exit: right indicator. That is the whole rule.

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.
