Wegweiser zu innerörtlichen Zielen — Local direction sign
Zeichen 432, StVO Anlage 3, officially 'Pfeilwegweiser zu Zielen mit erheblicher Verkehrsbedeutung'. In practice this is the white-with-black-lettering arrow board you meet in towns, pointing to local destinations — station, hospital, centre. White = local; yellow = other places outside town; blue = Autobahn. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
White background = local. Yellow = Bundesstraße and country routes. Blue = Autobahn. The colour tells you what kind of road you are being sent onto before you read a word.
What you are looking at
White rectangular arrow-shaped board with black destination text.
Remember it like this
In Germany green on a signpost points at another Autobahn — it is not the 'main road' colour it is in southern Europe or South Asia.
