Traffic and public transport
Tickets, signs and the rules that a German street assumes you know.
Two conventions catch people out. Public transport mostly runs without barriers: you buy a ticket, and on many networks you must also validate it — entwerten — before boarding; an unvalidated ticket counts as no ticket at all. And parking often needs a Parkscheibe, a small cardboard dial set to your arrival time and placed behind the windscreen, which is free and compulsory where the sign shows it.
