A driving license does not mean that you know all the traffic rules.
There is also confusion with the arrows on the no-parking sign.
It's not complicated.
If you want to drive a car, you have to get a driving license for a lot of money.
But the “rag” alone does not mean that the traffic rules are mastered to the letter.
On the contrary, the ADAC has identified massive knowledge gaps among drivers.
Not everyone knows the correct meaning of traffic signs either.
A good example of this is the parking ban.
There are two different versions here: the restricted and the absolute parking ban.
You can recognize the restricted parking ban (often referred to as a parking ban) by a diagonal red line on a blue background.
Stopping here is permitted for up to three minutes.
There are exceptions for loading and unloading the vehicle as well as getting in and out.
If there is an absolute no-parking zone (red X on a blue background), stopping and parking are taboo.

Arrows on a no-parking sign mark the area of application
So far, so simple, but sometimes there are still white arrows on the signs.
What's it all about?
This is also relatively easy.
The white arrows show drivers the zone in which stopping or parking is prohibited.
The white arrow shows from where to where the parking ban applies.

An arrow pointing in the direction of travel marks the start of the zone.
The arrow pointing in the opposite direction marks the end of the absolute or limited parking ban at this point.
If there is an arrow pointing in both directions on the sign, you are within the prohibited route.

However, parking or stopping can also be prohibited by other rules - such as additional signs that specify further restrictions or exceptions.
Temporary bans are also possible using mobile signs.
These repeal all other regulations for stationary traffic.

These mobile traffic signs may not be moved.
Otherwise you risk a fine, as well as for parking incorrectly.
And that can sometimes be very juicy.
