Two-wheeled motorcycle with or without sidecar and two-wheeled moped
The supplementary plate indicates two-wheeled motorcycles with or without sidecars and two-wheeled mopeds.
When you see the sign
Read the supplementary plate together with the main sign above it. It indicates that the regulation on the main sign applies to two-wheeled motorcycles, with or without a sidecar, and two-wheeled mopeds. If you are driving a passenger car, the regulation normally does not apply to you when the supplementary plate limits the main sign to this vehicle group.
Rules
- The supplementary plate has no independent meaning, but indicates which vehicles the main sign applies to.
- The sign covers two-wheeled motorcycles both with and without a sidecar.
- The sign also covers two-wheeled mopeds.
- The sign indicates a vehicle group and must not be confused with supplementary plates showing distance, extent or a time period.
Tips
- Look at the main sign first to identify the actual mandatory instruction, prohibition or regulation.
- Then check whether your vehicle belongs to the group shown on the supplementary plate.
- When parking, read the entire sign combination carefully, because the supplementary plate may limit who a parking rule or parking space applies to.
Common misconceptions
- Assuming that the supplementary plate on its own means parking for motorcycles and mopeds; its meaning always depends on the main sign.
- Assuming that the sign applies to all motor vehicles, even though it only shows specific motorcycles and two-wheeled mopeds.
- Overlooking the fact that motorcycles with a sidecar are also included.

- CYou must refrain from parking because the supplementary sign shows the distance to the parking prohibition.
- DYou may park only during specified periods because the supplementary sign limits when the prohibition applies.
Hard

- AYou may stop because the supplementary sign only indicates the distance to the stopping prohibition.
- BYou may stop because the supplementary sign covers only motorcycles without a sidecar.
- CYou may stop because the supplementary sign covers only two-wheeled mopeds on this section.
- DYou must comply with the stopping prohibition because a motorcycle with a sidecar is covered by the supplementary sign.
Theory test tip
A common trap is to answer what the symbol means without taking the main sign into account. Remember that 807.7 only indicates who the regulation applies to; the main sign determines which rule applies.
Did you know
The 807 series consists of supplementary plates that limit a main sign to specific vehicle or road-user groups, including passenger cars, buses, vehicle combinations and motorcycles or mopeds.
Frequently asked questions
Does the supplementary plate apply to an ordinary passenger car?
No, not when the supplementary plate limits the main sign to the vehicle group shown. A passenger car does not belong to this group.

Yes. The regulations expressly specify two-wheeled motorcycles both with and without a sidecar.
Does the sign apply to mopeds?
Yes, it covers two-wheeled mopeds. Other types of mopeds are not indicated by this supplementary plate.
Can the supplementary plate be used on its own?
No, a supplementary plate is used together with a main sign. You must read the sign combination as a whole to understand which regulation applies.
