Zusatzzeichen „Lkw“ / Massenangabe — Supplementary plate: goods vehicles / mass
Zusatzzeichen · Supplementary

In plain English

The plate that decides whether a ban is yours at all. A no-overtaking sign with a lorry plate is somebody else's problem.

What you are looking at

Small white rectangle with a black lorry symbol, sometimes with a mass figure such as '7,5 t'.

Easy to confuse with — the exam exploits these

Zusatzzeichen (Supplementary) — white plate under a sign — changes its meaning. 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.
