Radweg — Compulsory cycle path
Zeichen 237, StVO Anlage 2: cyclists may not use the carriageway and must use this path (Radwegbenutzungspflicht). Motor vehicles must stay off it entirely. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
A blue circle with a bike is compulsory for cyclists and closed to you. Parking on one 'just for a second' is among the most reliably fined and towed offences in German cities.
What you are looking at
Blue disc with a white bicycle in side view.
Remember it like this
Cyclists only have to use a path when one of the three blue signs (237, 240, 241) is there. Without them, they may legally ride on the road beside you.
