Requests for Traffic Complimentary Signs (meaning signs that are to be added to (complimenting) existing standard traffic control signs or provide additonal traffic information) can be requested through this site.
However, requests for new standard traffic control signs and / or related new road markings must first be coordinated and approved by the US Forces Police Office located at Vogelweh. Once approved, the request shall be submitted with a copy of the approval to the DPW.
The Drivers Handbook and Examination Manual for Germany AE Pamphlet 190-34 shows a catalogue of the international traffic signs utilized in Germany with a description of their meanings.
AER 190-1, 5-19 establishes a standard speed limit of 30 kph throughout all Army installations unless otherwise determined and posted by the USAG commander. Signs establishing an installation-wide speed limit of 30 kph should be posted at or near each installation entrance. Higher speed limits are not permitted although the IC may direct a lower speed limit at locations within an installation where warranted. Given the establishment of an installation-wide speed limit, there is no further need for additional speed limit signs (unless a lower limit is desired at certain locations). The maximum speed for passing troops in formation, or performing physical training is 15 kph.
