Fuel
The sign indicates that fuel is available at or near the road.
When you see the sign
The sign indicates that there is a place offering fuel at or near the road. If you need to refuel, follow any arrow or distance indication and position yourself correctly for the turn-off without braking sharply.
Rules
- The sign is a service sign providing information about fuel availability; it does not require you to stop.
- The fuel station may be located by the road or some distance away, so follow any arrow, distance indication or other supplementary information.
- The sign does not provide information about opening hours, payment methods or which standard fuel types are available.
- When turning off to the fuel station, the usual rules on signalling, positioning and giving way apply.
- When the fuel type is indicated by the text LPG or CNG, this is a specific variant informing you that this type of fuel is available.
Tips
- Check your fuel level early, especially before driving onto a long stretch with few services.
- Look for an arrow or distance indication so that you do not turn off too early or miss the correct exit.
- Signal well in advance and reduce your speed gradually if you are turning into the fuel station.
- Do not assume that the station has the right fuel type or is open 24 hours; check this in advance if it is important.
Common misconceptions
- Some people think the sign means they must stop or refuel, but it only provides information about a service.
- Some people confuse the sign with a vehicle workshop or rapid-charging station, even though these have their own symbols.
- Some people assume that the sign guarantees LPG or CNG, but these fuel types are normally indicated by text on specific sign variants.

Theory test tip
In the theory test, the trap may be to choose rapid charging or a vehicle workshop. Look for the fuel-pump symbol, and remember that the sign only indicates the availability of fuel at or near the road.
