Abstract: A braking pressure control system comprises a braking pressure generator, a brake-actuating device for at least one vehicle wheel, a connecting line between the braking pressure generator and the brake-actuating device, a shut-off valve in the connecting line which has two switching positions, the connecting line being open in the basic position of the shut-off valve and the connecting line being closed or throttled in the switched position of the shut-off valve, including an outlet line which connects the brake-actuating device to a pressure fluid collecting means, an electromagnetically operated pressure-limiting valve in the outlet line, a wheel sensor which determines the rotational speed of the vehicle wheel and issues a corresponding sensor signal, and an electrical controlling and evaluating unit which has an input for the sensor signal and a first switching output to which a switching signal for the shut-off valve is applied, and a control output which issues a control signal for the current-supply ci
