Sackgasse — Dead end
Zeichen 357, StVO Anlage 3. No through route. The StVO notes that pictograms in the upper part of the sign may show that the dead end is still passable for cyclists and/or pedestrians. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
The white upright is the road you are on; the red bar across the top is where it stops. Look at the top of the symbol: a gap with a bicycle or a walker means it goes through for them, not for you.
What you are looking at
Blue square with a white border. A large T: the vertical bar is white, the horizontal bar across the top is red. Variants show a bicycle or pedestrian symbol in a gap in the red bar.
Remember it like this
There is often nowhere to turn round at the end. Reversing out past parked cars is how people meet their neighbours.
