 From 1934, when the so-called FVS were renamed as " Reichsstraßen", they were marked with yellow signs bearing their respective number in black.After the imperial motorways ("Reichsautobahnen") the "Reichsstraßen" were the most important class of road within the jurisdiction of Nazi Germany.The "Reichsstraße" routes and numbering systems were largely adopted for the "Bundesstraßen" ("federal roads") in the Federal Republic of Germany and the "Fernverkehrsstraßen" ("trunk roads") in the GDR.
