I've lived in Germany for the past three years and never seen a sign like that. My best guess is that it means that in the event of a traffic standstill, you're supposed to stay in your car. Sadly I'm in the States at the moment and I have to wait a few hours before I can Skype my German boyfriend and ask him.
@3--I've never made up to the far north of Germany, but most people say it resembles the American Midwest. I am partial to the lush, green hills of Southern Germany, but it's all about taste...
French is "when stopped, stay seated". I think it refers to staying in your car if there's a traffic jam although it's hard to tell without more context in the photo.
"Remain seated when stopped." Is this near a highway? Or it could be an invitation to stop and smell the roses...
So please stop making fun of all those Chinese factories and their comic attempts to provide English instructions.
I think it means if you stop your car, stay inside the vehicle and don't get out and walk around, probably for safety reasons. I think it's also the working title of the next Rammstein album.
Looks like the signs I saw for the sommerrodelbahn, the dry toboggan runs that are like a luge or a little roller coaster. Did you ride? How many times? Oh Dan, did you have someone make a video for us? :)
As a speaker of English, French and German, I love this sign. The French makes sense, and the English is obviously a very literal translation of the German. I agree with @13 that it's an alpine slide. I wish they had those in North America. They're fun!
That is, until you do a "Terry Shower Watch".

That whole part of Europe = <3! I have family in Bochum.
I agree--I didn't understand it till I read the French. I assumed it was by a road and directed a car passengers.
