Richtgeschwindigkeit — Advisory speed (130 km/h)

WITHDRAWN SIGN — learn the rule, not the board. Zeichen 380 was deleted from the StVO on 1 April 2013 and the last ones had to come down by 31 October 2022, so it is no longer a valid German traffic sign and will not appear in the exam as current signage. The rule it used to display survives on its own: the Autobahn-Richtgeschwindigkeits-Verordnung sets 130 km/h as the recommended speed on Autobahnen and similar dual carriageways. It is advisory, not a limit — but exceeding it can cut your compensation after a crash, because a court can find a share of liability (Betriebsgefahr) against you. Verified 2026-08-03.

Hinweiszeichen · Information

In plain English

Historic board, gone from German roads since 2022. The 130 km/h recommendation itself is alive: no fine for exceeding it, and still possibly a bill, because civil courts treat it as a benchmark for Betriebsgefahr.

What you are looking at

Blue square with a white number 130.

Remember it like this

Red rim = must not exceed. Blue circle = must not go below. Blue SQUARE = advice.

Easy to confuse with — the exam exploits these

Hinweiszeichen (Information) — where you are. usually a blue or green panel. 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.
