In which directions are you allowed to continue?

This traffic sign is a mandatory direction sign indicating that you must turn either left or right; going straight ahead is not allowed. The arrows show the only permitted directions you can continue after the intersection. In German traffic rules, such signs are used to guide traffic flow and ensure safety by clearly indicating allowed directions. Therefore, choosing to continue straight would be a violation of the sign's instruction. Your answer of continuing to the left or right (options 1 and 2) is correct because the sign explicitly forbids going straight ahead.
