Beginn eines verkehrsberuhigten Bereichs — Traffic-calmed area (living street) begins
Hinweiszeichen · Information

In plain English

The house-car-children sign. The road belongs to people, and you are the guest — 30 km/h here is roughly five times too fast.

What you are looking at

Blue square: a house, a car, an adult and a child playing with a ball, all in white, on a white ground line.

Remember it like this

Schrittgeschwindigkeit has no number in the StVO. The higher courts cluster at roughly 4-7 km/h - the OLG Karlsruhe treats 7 as the ceiling, the OLG Naumburg has stretched to 10. Drive at the low end and the argument never happens.

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.
