What applies in the area 15 m in front of and behind this traffic sign?

This traffic sign indicates a bus or tram stop (Haltestelle). According to German traffic rules, within 15 meters in front of and behind this sign, you are not allowed to stop your vehicle. The reason is to ensure that passengers can safely board or alight from the bus or tram without obstruction.

Stopping (standing temporarily) is forbidden here, but briefly stopping to let passengers get on or off is allowed only directly as the vehicle serving the stop. Parking in this area is also prohibited.

So, the key rules are:

- No stopping your vehicle within 15 meters before and after the sign.
- Do not obstruct passengers getting on or off the bus or tram.

This ensures smooth public transport operations and passenger safety. Option 3 (parking) is not allowed in this zone, which is why only options 1 and 2 are correct.
