The adoption of the provisions of both conventions led to the development of a new StVO which entered into force in 1971 in West Germany. [17] The first sign with symbols of the current design is Sign 325 (residential street), which has been introduced in 1980. [18] In 1992 this design has been applied to all road signs of the StVO.

A warning triangle is, together with warning lights, used in order to secure a traffic accident site. The legal rules in the individual states partly order a warning triangle to be brought in the vehicle (in Germany according to § 53a StVZO). The warning triangle consists of three reflective beams, similar to a cat's eye, and a stable foot.
Regulatory road signs are generally circular, and most warning signs take the form of a triangle. Since 2012, however, a more visibly distinctive design (taken from that used for school signs in the US) has been adopted for pedestrian-related signs: these consist of a fluorescent yellow-green pentagon with black border and symbol.
While warning traffic sign designs vary, they usually take the shape of an equilateral triangle with a white background and thick red border. In the People's Republic of China (excluding Macau and Hong Kong ) and North Korea , they appear with a black border and a yellow background.
A stop line is always represented by a white thick traversal continuous line, but a give way line may be represented by a white thick dashed line as rectangles (Germany, France, Spain) or by a double-dashed line (United Kingdom) or by a white line of triangles (Austria, Italy, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland).
