Right of way rules: Motorists must pay close attention to this traffic sign.
Anyone who behaves incorrectly and is caught must expect a high fine.
For motorists in Germany there are a lot of traffic signs for the right of way in road traffic, as
echo24.de
has already reported.
And then there's the curving right of way.
Everyone knows this sign, but there is something that almost nobody knows about it.
Most road users always make a mistake here.
Black lines on a white background and a white square hanging on top of it.
In the center is a yellow, smaller square.
Clear thing.
But who knows if he has to blink here.
And if so, when?
Right of way: A traffic sign with many variants
According to the Road Traffic Act
(StVO) , this sign combination is
traffic sign 306 (white square, the one on top, with yellow square in the middle) and sign 1002. This additional sign is then available in ten different variants .
With this special right of way, the course of the turning priority road is shown to the driver.
According to the
General German Automobile Club (ADAC)
, this is represented by a thick black line.
But when do you have to blink now?
Do you have to blink at all?
Priority must be clearly defined: That's why you have to signal
According to the

portal , it is first necessary for the right-of-way rules to be precisely defined at a bend in the right-of-way.
Who gets to drive first?
"The driver who follows the priority road (thick line on the sign) always has priority over the other vehicles at the intersection"

Right of way: who has to flash at this sign
In principle, every road user must signal when the right-of-way bends.
No exceptions.

"This is a normal turning process, with which you leave the right-of-way.
"
Motorists who completely forget to blink at this traffic sign must expect high fines.
Serious accidents are inevitable because other road users cannot see the change of direction.
