Drivers should take note of this traffic sign.

It is definitely one of the more important traffic signs.

Road traffic always has innovations ready for drivers.

The extensive forest of signs on German roads in particular causes drivers to despair again and again.

A new traffic sign recently caused some uncertainty *, as

echo24.de

* reported.

But even older signs are always a mystery.

Because: Hardly anyone knows their meaning.

A good example of an established traffic sign, which is often misrepresented by drivers in traffic, is the green arrow next to the traffic light* - but not the glowing green arrow.

Another sign is a black tool on a blue and white shield.

The blue and white sign poses a puzzle to motorists: there is often a lack of specialist knowledge

But for many drivers, the image is not quite clearly recognizable as a tool.

If you go through life without any technical knowledge, you could also feel reminded of the tower of an airport.

Of course, where the sign is usually found, this makes little sense and causes even more confusion.

With intensive examination and specialist knowledge, the driver can determine that the tool shown is French.

Not to be confused with English.

By definition, both are wrenches.

The French, however, with a so-called "double mouth" - i.e. on both sides.

Roadside assistance: Motorists should definitely remember the blue and white sign

According to the Road Traffic Act (StVO), the traffic sign with the black wrench (French) on a blue and white background is the sign for roadside assistance.

For motorists, this means that in the event of a breakdown you can find a workshop in the immediate vicinity.

In addition to the emergency telephone and the emergency stop and breakdown bay signs, it is one of the most important signs for drivers, especially on the motorway.

The sign for roadside assistance is also listed under the number 365-62 in the road traffic sign register.

According to the standard, it is made in a square shape with a blue background and a black wrench symbol as a symbol.
