This traffic sign is displayed on the right-hand kerbside. What does it mean?

This traffic sign means no stopping on the stretch of road where the sign is placed. According to German traffic rules, you must not stop your vehicle either before or after the sign on the kerbside where it is displayed. The arrows indicate that the restriction applies in both directions from the sign’s position.

Stopping means any halting of the vehicle, even briefly, except to avoid a collision or to comply with police or traffic signals. Parking, which is longer than stopping, is also prohibited in this no-stopping zone.

The important rule to remember is that when you see this sign on the right-hand side, you must keep moving and not stop your vehicle anywhere between the previous sign or the corner up to the point where this no-stopping zone ends. This helps ensure good traffic flow and prevents dangerous blockages.

The choice "not park before it" is incorrect because parking is also forbidden, but the sign's main purpose is to prohibit stopping entirely, both before and after the sign. Therefore, the full and correct understanding includes both not stopping before and not stopping after this sign.
