幅制限ドイツ

It prohibits vehicles or vehicle combinations whose total width exceeds the displayed value from continuing beyond the sign.

It is commonly a circular regulatory sign showing a width in metres, feet or another local unit between horizontal arrowheads.

The width includes the vehicle, its load and attached equipment or objects that extend from either side.

Yes. Every part of the vehicle combination must comply, including the towing vehicle, trailer and load.

Yes, when they extend beyond the sides of the vehicle. Drivers must consider the widest point of the complete travelling vehicle.

Doors should be closed while driving. The ordinary travelling width is measured with the vehicle properly configured for road use.

Not necessarily. It shows the maximum legally permitted vehicle width. The physical passage may be wider, but drivers should not assume that additional clearance is available.

The sign normally prohibits vehicles wider than the displayed value. However, drivers should not attempt to pass without a practical safety margin because measurements and vehicle movement may vary.

A vehicle may move sideways because of steering corrections, road camber, wind, suspension movement or an uneven surface.

Yes. Walls, barriers, columns, bends, kerbs and protruding structures may make one part narrower than another.

Yes. Lane-specific signs may impose different restrictions where the available width varies between lanes.

Yes. Barriers, machinery and shifted lanes may reduce the usable width. Temporary width-limit signs must be obeyed.

It is normally a prohibition. A vehicle that exceeds the displayed width may not pass.

No. The applicable general, zonal or posted speed limit remains in force, although drivers should approach narrow passages slowly.

No. Traffic lights, priority signs and the ordinary priority rules remain applicable.

Yes. An advance sign may show the restriction and the distance to it so that wide vehicles can choose another route.

Do not continue. Stop where safe and use the signed diversion or another suitable route.

No. Navigation information may be outdated or incomplete. Traffic signs and actual road conditions always take precedence.

Yes. Drivers of trucks, buses, agricultural vehicles, motorhomes and vehicles carrying wide loads should know the maximum travelling width before beginning the journey.

Measure the widest part of the vehicle and load in its normal travelling configuration. Consider equipment, securing devices and any load extending beyond the bodywork.

Yes. Mirrors, arms, steps or machinery designed to be folded or retracted should be placed in the legally required travelling position before driving.

Only when signs and markings permit it and the manoeuvre can be completed safely. Do not cross a closed lane, continuous line or opposing traffic to avoid the restriction.

Stop before the restriction in a safe place and verify the vehicle’s dimensions. Choose another route when adequate clearance cannot be confirmed.

A guide may help during a slow manoeuvre in a controlled location, but the driver remains responsible. The guide must remain visible and stay away from moving traffic and crushing hazards.

Stop immediately where safe, activate the hazard warning lights and contact the police or emergency services. Do not continue when the vehicle, load or structure may be damaged or unstable.
