Danger signs

Triangular danger signs warn of places that you would not recognise, or would recognise too late, if you were unfamiliar with the area – especially important for two-wheelers are bends, slippery roads, uneven surfaces, loose chippings and rails. Also: where the signs are placed and what the additional panels mean.

From the key facts

  • Danger signs: equilateral triangle, red border, black symbol on a white background; only where drivers unfamiliar with the area would not recognise the danger or would recognise it too late – SSV art. 3 para. 1–2
  • Position: in built-up areas shortly before the danger (more than 50 m before → distance panel), outside built-up areas 150–250 m before, on motorways at the spot or no more than 100 m before, plus an advance sign at 500–1000 m – SSV art. 3 para. 3

All key facts, the questions with explanations and the exam simulation are part of the course.
