Wildwechsel — Wild animals crossing
Zeichen 142, StVO Anlage 1. Deer and other wild animals cross here, most often at dawn and dusk where woodland meets open fields. Verified 2026-08-03.
In plain English
Where one animal crosses, more usually follow. Dip the headlights — full beam freezes them — sound the horn, and scan the verges, not the tarmac.
What you are looking at
Upright red-bordered triangle with a black leaping deer in silhouette.
Remember it like this
If you cannot avoid it: brake hard and hold your line. Swerving into a tree or into oncoming traffic is far worse than hitting a deer.
