The white sign with blue circles and white numbers is a guide sign - every driver should actually know what it means. 

Road traffic is regulated by traffic signs.

The regulations that prescribe traffic signs always have priority over the generally applicable rules.

The traffic signs are easy to understand because they consist of symbols - one should actually think so.

However, some road signs pose a mystery even to experienced drivers.

A white traffic sign with an orange arrow indicates a stretch of motorway with less traffic, as

echo24.de

reports.

Or: The white sign with arrows and circles - many drivers don't know what it means.

Another sign causes question marks on many faces: a white sign with blue circles and numbers.

Specifically, it is traffic sign 525-31 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO) - a "lane board without oncoming traffic with integrated sign 275 - 3 lanes in the direction of travel".

White sign with blue circles and numbers: No general list of signs in Germany

There are more than 650 different traffic signs in Germany.

There are said to be over 20 million traffic signs nationwide, plus around 3.5 million German signposts, sign combinations and countless kilometer signs or station signs.

This means that there is a traffic sign every 28 meters on German roads, as reported by

verkehrszeichen.kfz-auskunft.de

.

However, there is no comprehensive list of all the signs posted throughout Germany.

Many are only deployed locally or regionally.

As a result, drivers are simply overwhelmed by some road signs and do not know their meaning - or have simply forgotten them.

Some signs are familiar, but are not aimed at car drivers at all, but at the military.

Like the round, yellow or orange sign with black numbers and arrows.

But now back to the already mentioned “lane sign without oncoming traffic”.

What does this sign mean now?

White sign with blue circles and numbers: This applies to motorists

The "traffic sign 525-31 of the Road Traffic Act (StVO) - lane sign - without oncoming traffic, with integrated sign 275 - 3 lanes in the direction of travel" is a directional sign.

As the name suggests, guide signs are road signs that drivers should follow.

You can show the way to a specific destination, but you can also only recommend a detour so that traffic can continue to flow relatively undisturbed, be it due to construction sites or traffic jams, as

strassenschild.de

reports.

The blue circle with white numbers is also available as a stand-alone sign – and every driver should be familiar with it.

According to the Federal Highway Research Institute (bast), the "traffic sign 275" indicates a recommended speed or minimum speed.

A guide speed is a recommended speed to achieve good traffic flow on the respective roads.

Accordingly, drivers should drive at least the specified speed on the respective routes.

And the arrows indicate the number of lanes anyway the direction of travel.

So the traffic sign is basically self-explanatory.
