The Stop sign is a regulatory sign that instructs drivers to come to a complete stop at the intersection where it is located. In Germany, when you encounter a Stop sign, you must halt your vehicle before reaching the white line or crosswalk, whichever is present. You must check for oncoming traffic and ensure the way is clear before proceeding. Failing to stop can result in penalties such as fines and points on your driving record.
If you have any more questions about traffic rules or need clarification on another sign, feel free to ask!
