When you see the Zeichen
Sign 239 marks a footway generally reserved for pedestrian traffic. You may not use it with a motor vehicle or bicycle unless this is permitted by a Zusatzzeichen or allowed by a statutory exception. Where vehicular traffic is permitted, Schrittgeschwindigkeit applies; pedestrians may neither be endangered nor obstructed.
Rules
- 1. Traffic other than pedestrian traffic may generally not use the marked footway.
