§ 11 General rules of conduct
(1) Anyone driving a PLEV must drive one after another, must not be attached to moving vehicles and may not drive freehand.
(2) PLEVs may not deviate from the rule that one has to drive as far to the right as possible on roads with several lanes.
(3) If there are no direction indicators on a small electric vehicle, anyone driving a PLEV shall announce the change of direction clearly
and in a timely manner by hand signals so that other road users can adjust their behaviour accordingly.
(4) Anyone driving a PLEV on bicycle traffic areas shall take bicycle traffic into account and, if necessary, adjust their speed to the
bicycle traffic. Anyone driving a small electric vehicle must enable faster bicycle traffic to overtake without obstruction. On shared
foot- and cycle paths (sign 240 of Annex 2 to the Road Traffic Regulations) as well as on footpaths (sign 239 of Annex 2 to the Road
Traffic Regulations) and in pedestrian zones (sign 242.1 of Annex 2 to the Road Traffic Regulations), pedestrians have priority and may
neither be obstructed nor endangered. When necessary, anyone driving a PLEV has to wait for pedestrians first. The speed on shared
foot- and cycle paths must be adapted to pedestrian traffic when necessary. On sidewalks and in pedestrian zones, the vehicle may
only be driven at walking speed. If a certain direction is specified by additional symbols, then these specifications also apply to traffic
with PLEV.
(5) The provisions of the Road Traffic Regulations applicable to the parking of vehicles shall not apply to PLEVs. They are being parked
like bicycles.
