What does the picture with the slash mean?

End. The previous sign is no longer applicable / in force. The red (or sometimes three thin black ones) slash is used for that purpose on lots of traffic signs in Europe.

Recommended speed redirects here
Why does recommended speed redirects here? A recommended speed sign is not a specific German sign (or traffic rule), it appears (at least and AFAIK) in the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and Austra. GeertW 22:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Stub?
To be honest, I do not think that this article should be rated as Stub. It covers everything that one needs to know and I do not know anything that's missing in the article. St4Lk3R (talk) 14:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Mindestgeschwindigkeit
> In Germany, there can also be a Mindestgeschwindigkeit (minimum speed) posted by traffic signs. This information is correct. The sign was used by the German Democratic Republic before the reunion, and the sign is still valid after the reunion and even used in western Germany in several places.

BUT

> It is used on multi-lane roads. By ordering a different Mindestgeschwindigkeit for each lane, slower vehicles can be > forced to share a lane, in order not to hinder faster driving vehicles, e. g. on Autobahns with notable pitches. this is not right, although it would be a good Idea to do this ;-) On the german Autobahnen there may be different tempo limits per lane, but nowhere in the german road system traffic is seperated by Mindestgeschwindigkeit.
