Traffic signals

Code	Name	Meaning
SIG1	Red	Red means stop. Vehicles may not pass the stop line or, if there is no stop line, the signal. An outline arrow limits the signal to the indicated direction.
SIG2	Red and amber	Red and amber mean that green will soon be shown. Otherwise the signal has the same meaning as red.
SIG3	Green	Green means that vehicles may proceed. A green arrow applies to the direction shown and may be followed even when another signal aspect is shown for another direction.
SIG4	Amber	Amber means stop, except when the signal changes from green and the vehicle is so close that it cannot be stopped safely. An outline arrow limits the signal to the indicated direction.
SIG5	Flashing amber	Flashing amber calls for special caution at a passage.
SIG6	Red acoustic signal with slow pulse frequency	A red acoustic signal with a slow pulse means pedestrians must not enter a carriageway, cycle track, railway or tramway crossing. A person already crossing must continue to the other side or stop on a refuge if one exists.
SIG7	Green acoustic signal with fast pulse frequency	A green acoustic signal with a rapid pulse means pedestrians may enter a carriageway, cycle track, railway or tramway crossing.
SIG8	S signal	The S signal means stop. Vehicles and trams may not pass the stop line or, if none exists, the signal.
SIG9	S plus horizontal bar	S together with a horizontal bar means that a vertical bar will soon be shown. Otherwise the aspect has the same meaning as S.
SIG10	Vertical bar or arrow	A vertical bar or arrow means that vehicles and trams may proceed. An arrow applies to the direction shown.
SIG11	Horizontal bar	A horizontal bar means stop, except when the signal changes from a vertical bar and the vehicle or tram is so close that it cannot be stopped safely.
SIG12	Red cross	A red cross means that the lane and the shoulder next to that lane may not be used for traffic.
SIG13	Amber arrow or arrows	An amber arrow or arrows mean that drivers must change lane in the direction shown.
SIG14	Green arrow	A green arrow means that the lane may be used. In some cases a road sign may be used instead of the green arrow.
SIG16	Flashing red light	Flashing red means stop. Road users may not pass the stop line or, if none exists, the signal.
SIG17	Steady red light	Steady red means that the road is completely closed.
SIG18	Flashing amber light requiring special caution	Flashing amber is used where a road is partly closed or to make a road sign or other traffic-control device easier to notice. Its arrangement is adapted to the device and may be combined with an acoustic signal for pedestrians at certain public-transport crossings.

Signals by a traffic guard

Code	Name	Meaning
V1	Stop	The signal means stop for the road user toward whom the guard is facing. In darkness it is given with a red light and may also use a stop paddle marked for a guard.

X2	Hazard marker board	The device indicates that access is restricted by an obstacle and may also indicate that the road is fully or partly closed.
X3	Marker board for side hazards, speed-reducing devices and similar hazards	The device marks the edge of the road or carriageway or separates traffic directions. Vehicles normally pass on the side toward which the amber fields slope down.
X4	Exit marker board	The device marks the separation point between the main carriageway and an exit with a deceleration lane.
X5	Amber illuminated arrow or arrows	The device requires road users to pass on the side shown by the amber illuminated arrow or arrows.
X6	Special warning device	The device indicates that access is restricted by a temporary obstacle or similar condition; its text is adapted to the cause.

Y1	Flashing red light	Alternately flashing red lights mean stop. Road users must not pass the stop line or, if none exists, the signal.
Y2	Audible signal	The audible signal means stop. Road users must not pass the stop line or, if none exists, the signal.
Y3	Barrier	A barrier may be full-width or half-width. A red light flashes toward approaching traffic from when the barrier starts lowering until it is fully raised.
