Those wishing to turn right must keep to the right-hand side of the road, and those wishing to turn left must keep towards the centre of the road.

Track-in arrows

Lanes for left-turning, right-turning or straight ahead drivers are marked by white “single lane arrows” pointing in the appropriate direction. The driver may only enter junctions in the direction of the “single lane arrows” displayed on his lane. Yellow arrows are intended exclusively for drivers of buses in regular public transport and allow them to drive in the direction of the yellow arrows.

Single-track signs

Single lane signs above the carriageway indicate on multi-lane roads before junctions which lanes lead to a specific destination (“Single lane sign above lanes on main roads”; and “Single lane sign above lanes on minor roads”. The downward pointing arrow points to the centre of the lane.

Single lane signs next to the carriageway on multi-lane roads before junctions indicate which lanes lead to a specific destination (“single lane sign”). The uppermost field with an arrow pointing to the left refers to the outermost lane on the left, the lowermost field with an arrow pointing to the right refers to the outermost lane on the right, a central field with an arrow pointing upwards refers to any strip in the middle Bus lanes marked by continuous or interrupted yellow lines and by the yellow inscription “BUS” may only be used by buses in public service and, where appropriate, by trams; exceptions are marked or signalled. Other vehicles may not use bus lanes, but may cross them if necessary (e.g. for turning) if they are demarcated by yellow broken lines.

Lane in and tram

If no tram is approaching, left-turners may use the tram lane to turn into the bus lane.

Track in and bus lanes

Bus lanes marked by continuous or interrupted yellow lines and by the yellow inscription “BUS” may only be used by buses in public service and, where appropriate, by trams, subject to marked or signalled exceptions.

Other vehicles may not use bus lanes, but may cross them if necessary (e.g. to turn off, to get into the lane) if they are demarcated by yellow broken lines.

Track in and cycle lanes

With or without a cycle lane, you must lane in on the right. Exception: If there is a cycle lane with a broken line, you must not cross it.

Another exception: If there are traffic lights and a cycle lane, you must not use the cycle lane when turning right (traffic flow). Therefore, you must make very sure that no cyclist wants to go straight ahead.

Indicate track in

Any change of direction must be announced in good time by the direction indicator or by clear hand signals. This applies in particular to lane changes and turning off.

Trailer and track in

If motor vehicles or their trailers are carrying loads that obstruct visibility, special care must be taken when changing lanes and turning. If necessary, an assistant should be called in to supervise the manoeuvre.

If, because of the size of the vehicle or local conditions, the driver has to pull out to the opposite side before turning, he must drive with particular care and stop if necessary.

Cutting the curve

The vehicle driver must not cut the curve when turning left on road junctions. Vehicles coming from opposite directions and both wishing to turn left on a junction must cross to the left

Track in lane and overtake

Changing to other lanes to overtake is prohibited on single-track roads, except on lanes marked with the same destinations.

Oncoming traffic and track in

When moving into the left lane, the driver must not occupy the space intended for oncoming traffic. On three-lane roads, with or without markings, drivers may use the middle lane with due care.

Timing of the track-in

Drivers must move into the lane in good time.

Track-in on for narrow roads

They must also move into the lane when turning outside junctions and, as far as possible, on narrow roads.

Turn left: Right of way

Before turning left, give way to oncoming vehicles.
