Verbot des Wendens — No U-turn
Zeichen 272, StVO Anlage 2. You may not turn round here. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
Common before busy junctions and on multi-lane city roads where one U-turn blocks everything. Go round the block instead.
What you are looking at
White disc, red rim, a black U-turn arrow struck through by a red diagonal bar.
Remember it like this
Even where it is allowed, §9 Abs. 5 StVO makes a driver turning round give way to everybody. The sign only removes an option you never had a right to anyway.
