The course material states without exception: on each of the three categories you must show the right behaviour. As a driver you must show the right behaviour on each of the three road categories, with no exception for the two 'calmer' categories

How the exam asks it

About Road categories: through roads, distributor roads and access roads: which statements are correct? (multiple answers possible)

  1. An access road has mixed slow and motorised traffic, no separation of directions and usually no separated cycle paths.
  2. Grade-separated junctions belong to the through road, not the access road.
  3. On a distributor road inside the built-up area the limit is 50 km/h or 80 km/h.
  4. On a distributor road (gebiedsontsluitingsweg) the speed within a built-up area is always 50 km/h.

Correct answer: An access road has mixed slow and motorised traffic, no separation of directions and usually no separated cycle paths.; Grade-separated junctions belong to the through road, not the access road.

Within a built-up area the speed on a distributor road is 50 km/h OR 70 km/h, outside a built-up area 80 km/h

Why learners get this wrong: On a distributor road inside the built-up area the limit is 50 km/h or 80 km/h.

About Road categories: through roads, distributor roads and access roads: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Within a built-up area the speed on a distributor road is 50 km/h OR 70 km/h, outside a built-up area 80 km/h.
  2. An access road has mixed slow and motorised traffic, no separation of directions and usually no separated cycle paths.
  3. As a driver you must show the right behaviour on EACH of the three road categories, with no exception for the two 'calmer' categories.
  4. A through road (stroomweg) is the same as a motorway; an ordinary expressway does not count.
Show the answer

Correct answer: A through road (stroomweg) is the same as a motorway; an ordinary expressway does not count.

Most expressways (autowegen) AND motorways (autosnelwegen) are designated as through roads; a through road can even be built as an expressway, with the directions separated by a double solid line with a green fill instead of a verge

Why learners get this wrong: On a distributor road (gebiedsontsluitingsweg) the speed within a built-up area is always 50 km/h.

Open this question

Which characteristics belong to an access road according to the book? (multiple answers possible)

  1. Mixed slow and motorised traffic
  2. No direction separation
  3. Usually a separated cycle path, just like a distributor road
  4. Grade-separated junctions
  5. Usually no separated cycle paths
Show the answer

Correct answer: Mixed slow and motorised traffic; No direction separation; Usually no separated cycle paths

Why learners get this wrong: An access road (erftoegangsweg) always has a separated cycle path, just like a distributor road.
