Lane boundary, boundary of carriageways and special paths

Requirement or prohibition 1. a) Whoever is driving a vehicle must not cross the continuous line, even partially. b) If the continuous line separates the part of the carriageway or special path intended for oncoming traffic, the driver must drive to its right. c) If it bounds a surfaced hard shoulder, outside built-up areas agricultural towing and working machines, horse-drawn vehicles and similarly slow vehicles must drive as far to its right as possible. d) Whoever is driving a vehicle must not park on the carriageway if no lane at least 3 m wide remains between the parked vehicle and the lane boundary line. 2. a) Whoever is driving a vehicle must not stop to the left of the continuous carriageway boundary line if a hard shoulder or special path is present on the right. b) Whoever is driving a vehicle must not cross the carriageway boundary of the central island of a roundabout. c) The only vehicles exempt from the prohibition on crossing the carriageway boundary of the central island of a roundabout are those whose dimensions would otherwise make it impossible to drive through. They may drive over the central island if danger to other road users is excluded. 3. a) If Zeichen 223.1 orders the use of a hard shoulder, the carriageway boundary may be crossed like a broken line marking lanes of a continuous carriageway (Zeichen 340). b) If it bounds a special path, it may be crossed only if parking spaces that cannot otherwise be reached have been provided behind it or property entrances are located there, and use of the special path is neither endangered nor obstructed. c) The line bounding carriageways or special paths may be crossed if a property entrance that cannot otherwise be reached is located behind it. Explanation 1. As a lane boundary, the sign separates the part of the carriageway intended for oncoming traffic or several lanes for traffic travelling in the same direction from one another. The lane boundary may consist of a double line to separate oncoming traffic. The double line may be laid with a gap between its lines; the remaining space may then be filled with green colour, which does not constitute either a central reservation or a structural separation. 2. As a carriageway boundary, the continuous line may also bound a hard shoulder or special path. 3. As the boundary of a special path, it indicates the course of the part of the special path intended for cycling traffic.
