After stopping, traffic may turn right even if red is showing if a sign with a green arrow on a black background green arrow is affixed to the right of the red light.
A person operating a vehicle may turn off only from the right-hand lane. When doing so, they must take care not to impede or endanger any other road users, especially pedestrians and vehicles that are allowed to proceed. A black arrow on a red light gives the order to stop, a black arrow on an amber light to wait for the next signal, in both cases only for the direction in which the arrow is pointing.
A single-aspect signal with a green arrow allows traffic to turn right when the light for traffic going straight ahead shows red. At other places on the road, such as junctions and markings for pedestrian traffic, light signals have the same meaning. The sequence of traffic light signals may be limited to amber — red. A separate light signal may be provided for each of several marked lanes sign , or Special signals, including signals with different phases, may be provided for rail-borne vehicles; this also applies to regular service buses and vehicles carrying schoolchildren or disabled persons that have to be marked with the school bus sign under legislation governing the carriage of passengers if they use dedicated lanes that other traffic may not use; in addition, it applies to ambulances, pedal cycles, taxis and buses operating occasional services if supplementary signs also allow them to use these lanes.

If they only apply to individual marked lanes, they are usually mounted above these lanes. Supplementary signs display black symbols, drawings or worded legends on a white background with a black border, unless otherwise specified. They are mounted directly, usually below, the sign to which they refer.
On variable message signs, the white areas may, in derogation from the signs illustrated below, be black and the black symbols and the black border may be white if these signs are only produced by lamps.

Only as temporarily applicable markings are they yellow; in this case, they override the white markings Yellow markings may also take the form of rows of retroreflective road studs, rows of light-emitting road studs, guide barriers or guide kerbs. Rows of light-emitting roads studs apply only when they are switched on. All lines may be replaced by rows of evenly placed retroreflective studs.

In particular, restrictions and prohibitions may be imposed on moving traffic only if, as a result of special local circumstances, there exists a dangerous situation which far exceeds the general risk of an impairment of the objects of legal protection mentioned in the subsections above. The third sentence does not apply to:.

If the effects of an exemption extend beyond one federal state and if a uniform decision is required, the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure is the competent authority; this does not apply to exemptions from the prohibition of racing events section 29 1. If necessary, the competent authority may demand the presentation of an expert opinion at the expense of the applicant.
Road users shall carry the exemptions and permits with them and present them to authorized persons if requested to so. In the case of permits granted under section 29 3 and exemptions granted under section 46 1 5 , it shall be sufficient for road users to carry with them faxed documents or printouts of permits or exemptions granted and signed electronically and their digitized form on a storage medium provided that this digitized form is such that it can be made readable if requested by authorized persons in the event of a check.
