Vorfahrt gewähren — Give way / yield

Zeichen 205, StVO Anlage 2. You must let traffic on the crossing road go first. Stopping is not compulsory if the road is genuinely clear, but you must approach slowly enough that you could stop. Verified 2026-08-03.

Vorfahrt gewähren — Give way / yield
Vorfahrtzeichen · Priority

In plain English

The only upside-down triangle in the system. Yield — but you may roll straight through an empty junction. That single permission is the whole difference from Stop.

What you are looking at

Equilateral triangle pointing DOWN, thick red border, white face, nothing inside.

Remember it like this

The triangle points down because you are the one going down the pecking order.

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.
