Zusatzzeichen · Supplementary

In plain English

An arrow under a no-parking sign means the ban runs that way from the post. Two-headed arrows mean it runs both ways from where you stand.

What you are looking at

Small white rectangle with a single black arrow pointing left, right, or both ways.

Remember it like this

Under a Haltverbot: arrow up = the ban starts here; arrow down/both = you are in the middle of it; arrow pointing back = it ends here.

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.
