They are themselves a binding traffic sign, even without a sign next to them. If there are no priority signs or shark's teeth, traffic from the right goes first.

Open this question

In Zutphen you approach a busy crossroads where sign J8 (dangerous crossroads) stands. There are no priority signs, shark's teeth or traffic lights. A car is approaching from the right. What do you do?

  1. You drive on; J8 gives your road priority over the car from the right
  2. You let the car from the right go first; J8 does not regulate priority
  3. You also let traffic from the left go first; J8 means give way
Show the answer

Correct answer: You let the car from the right go first; J8 does not regulate priority

False — you confuse the triangle of J8 with the 'give way' sign. J8 is a warning sign and does not oblige you to let all crossing traffic go first. Without priority signs or shark's teeth you give priority only to traffic from the right.

Why learners get this wrong: Sign J8 (dangerous crossroads) itself regulates who has priority at that crossroads.

Open this question

On the N35 near Almelo you see sign J17 (road narrows); there is no speed sign with it and an oncoming car is approaching. Here you choose your speed yourself, so that you can stop within the distance you can see to be clear ahead of you.

  1. True
  2. False
Show the answer

Correct answer: True

False — you think J17 prescribes a fixed lower speed. A warning sign sets no speed and no obligation; you adjust your speed yourself so that you can stop within the distance you can see and that is clear.

Why learners get this wrong: At sign J17 (road narrowing) you are legally required to a specific, fixed lower speed.
