When you see the Zeichen
The sign marks the exit from a Kraftfahrstraße or a road built to motorway standards. If you want to exit, move into the exit lane in good time; if you want to continue, stay on the through lane.
Rules
- Zeichen 332.1 indicates an exit outside an Autobahn, particularly on Kraftfahrstraßen or roads built to motorway standards.
- The sign does not require you to turn off; you may continue on the through lane.
- You may change lanes to exit only if nobody is endangered; signal the lane change clearly and in good time.
- The sign itself does not impose a specific maximum speed. Existing speed-limit signs and the general speed rules continue to apply.
Tips
- Pay attention to earlier direction signs so that you do not have to change lanes only when you reach the exit sign.
- Check your mirrors and the area beside the road before moving into position, and signal right in good time.
- If possible, reduce your speed only once you are on the exit lane, and watch out for tight bends or additional speed limits there.
- Remember this distinction: Within geschlossene Ortschaften, Zeichen 332.1 may also have a white background instead of a blue one.
Common misunderstandings
- The sign is confused with Zeichen 332, which marks the exit from an Autobahn. Zeichen 332.1, on the other hand, applies to exits from Kraftfahrstraßen or roads built to motorway standards outside the Autobahn.
- Some learner drivers believe that the indicated exit shows a mandatory direction of travel. However, the sign provides route guidance and does not require you to exit.
- A white background is mistakenly interpreted as a different traffic sign. Within geschlossene Ortschaften, Zeichen 332.1 may also be displayed with a white background.
Exam tip
In exam questions, the typical trap is confusing it with the Autobahn exit shown by Zeichen 332. The key point is: Zeichen 332.1 indicates an exit from a Kraftfahrstraße or a road built to motorway standards, not from an Autobahn.
Did you know
The special version with a white background makes it possible to integrate the same exit sign into the usual direction signs within geschlossene Ortschaften.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to exit at Zeichen 332.1?
No. The sign marks or indicates the exit, but it does not prescribe a direction of travel. You can continue on the through lane.
Does this sign automatically mean that I must drive at a lower speed?
No, Zeichen 332.1 does not contain its own speed limit. However, observe any additional speed-limit signs and adjust your speed to the course of the exit lane.
How does Zeichen 332.1 differ from Zeichen 332?
Zeichen 332 marks the exit from an Autobahn. Zeichen 332.1 is used for exits from Kraftfahrstraßen or roads built to motorway standards outside the Autobahn.
Can Zeichen 332.1 also be installed within built-up areas?
Yes. Within geschlossene Ortschaften, it may also have a white background. Its meaning as an exit sign remains unchanged.
