Halt. Vorfahrt gewähren. — Stop and give waySTOP
Vorfahrtzeichen · Priority

In plain English

The only eight-sided sign there is. Wheels not turning — compulsory at three in the morning on an empty road. 'It was clear' is a defence at a Give way sign and no defence at all here.

What you are looking at

Red octagon, thin white rim, the word STOP in white capitals across the middle.

Remember it like this

Eight sides, and you count one full second before moving.

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.
