(yes, yes I know about the 'green arrow', but I can count on one hand where I have seen that sign in all of Bavaria)

OMG! I almost forgot about that! How could I? Every time I go back to Germany now, I am SO tempted to turn right on red. I think that is actually one of the good rules they have in the USA. But they should seriously scrap the passing on right deal.

Very good resource. Thanks for posting! I guess the very different ONE WAY sign is kinda good to know, too.

Perhaps along with the yield and right-of-way signs.
