Passenger Car Class II
The symbol indicates Passenger Car Class II
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign you should first determine whether your vehicle is a passenger car class II by checking the registration details. If your car is class II, follow the rule indicated by the sign (e.g., parking permit or access); otherwise other rules apply to your vehicle.
Rules & Regulations
- The symbol indicates that a regulation (e.g., a parking space, lane, or entrance/exit) applies explicitly to passenger cars class II and not necessarily to other vehicle types.
- Which vehicle class is meant is determined by the vehicle's registration document/vehicle details - the driver is responsible for knowing which class the car belongs to.
- The sign's meaning can be changed or supplemented by additional plates with times, zones, or text; always read the entire sign including any supplementary information.
- If your car is class II you must comply with the rule indicated by the sign; ignoring signposted restrictions can lead to fines or the vehicle being removed.
Tips for Drivers
- Check the vehicle's class in the registration document before driving so you know whether the sign's rules apply to your car.
- Look for supplementary text or times under the symbol - many signs showing vehicle classes have time limits or zone indications.
- If you are unsure whether your vehicle is class II, do not park or drive where the rule expressly prohibits other vehicle types until you can check the registration details.
- Keep in mind that the symbol itself indicates a vehicle group; always interpret it together with the main sign (for example "P", "No entry", or lane marking).
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the symbol applies to all passenger cars - it only applies to passenger cars that are classified as class II according to the registration.
- Failing to read any additional plates and thereby missing time restrictions or special exceptions.
- Confusing "class II" with other categories (e.g., truck or taxi) instead of checking the vehicle-specific information in the registration document.
