Ortstafel (Vorderseite) — Town begins
Zeichen 310, StVO Anlage 3. Marks the start of a geschlossene Ortschaft (built-up area), which under §3 Abs. 3 Nr. 1 StVO means 50 km/h for all motor vehicles. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
A plain yellow board with a place name — and it IS the speed limit. No number appears on it anywhere. Stop hunting for a '50' sign; it is not coming.
What you are looking at
Wide yellow rectangle with a thin black border and the place name in large black capitals.
Remember it like this
It also ends most stretch restrictions — a no-overtaking ban or a speed limit generally dies at the Ortstafel.
