Tanks prohibited street sign from Germany

[Sam1]

I just so happened to run across this after someone knocked down a pole with their tank in Germany a few years back. Figured Dol's ball and chain would remember them... It's about 2-3 feet 'round, now just need to get it mounted up in the garage

love me some tank stuff!

I believe prohibited would have a slash across it. Signs were probably used to designate approved routes as a lot of streets in the "old counties" are too narrow or a corner too sharp/narrow for a tank. Also warns that you may meet or come up behind a tank. The locals get tired of things getting torn up by NATO, particular US.

It is a prohibited sign, and is the reason it got ran over. Darn thing was blocking a shortcut that saved us nearly an hour of travel time.... No signs, no rules!

That's a cool sign.

Tanks for posting a pic of it.

Served 23 years as a Tanker, 11 of it during 3 tours in Germany. Thats not a Tank prohibited sign, thats a Tank Warning sign for Motorists.

Yep, remember those well. I also remember that he Germans used to make a killing off of "manuever" damage. A tank could roll across an empty dang field of mud and the owner would file a claim, lol.

The red ring around the sign means it's a prohibited sign:

I was in a tank all over the Fulda Gap. We had a list of what it cost to replace ran over items. 4 ft Curbs were like 400DM. It cost millions each time we rolled out on an alert. I peeled several guardrails with my M1.
