Vorfahrt — Priority at the next junction

Zeichen 301, StVO Anlage 3. The StVO states it plainly: you have priority at the NEXT junction — and only that one. Verified 2026-08-03.

Vorfahrt — Priority at the next junction
Vorfahrtzeichen · Priority

In plain English

Look at the thickness of the lines. The thick one is your road, the thin one crosses it, so you go first. Unlike the yellow diamond, this expires at the junction it describes.

What you are looking at

Upright red-bordered triangle; inside, a black vertical THICK bar crossed by a thin horizontal bar.

Remember it like this

Thick line = your line. One junction only.

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.
