Separated carriageways: sign decides, otherwise keep right. If there are no signs, you must keep right and therefore follow the right-hand carriageway

How the exam asks it

About One-way streets, narrow single carriageways, separated carriageways and service roads: which statements are correct? (multiple answers possible)

  1. On a one-way street you may reverse along the carriageway to a turning you missed.
  2. C4 = one-way road: traffic in the SIDE STREET drives in the arrow's direction — a rectangular information sign about that street, not a command for your direction; commands are round (D series).
  3. On narrow single-carriageway roads outside the built-up area: watch out for a sharp road edge and/or lower verge; if your right-hand wheels leave the road, you quickly lose control of the steering.
  4. Sign C4 means the side street is closed; the arrow shows which way the diversion goes.
Show the answer

Correct answer: C4 = one-way road: traffic in the SIDE STREET drives in the arrow's direction — a rectangular information sign about that street, not a command for your direction; commands are round (D series).; On narrow single-carriageway roads outside the built-up area: watch out for a sharp road edge and/or lower verge; if your right-hand wheels leave the road, you quickly lose control of the steering.

C3/C4 are the open side of the one-way road: entering is allowed, in the arrow's direction; the closed end carries the round C2

Why learners get this wrong: On a one-way street you may reverse along the carriageway to a turning you missed.

About One-way streets, narrow single carriageways, separated carriageways and service roads: which statement is correct?

  1. If your right-hand wheels leave the asphalt, the only risk is damage to tyres or rims; the steering stays under control.
  2. A service road (ventweg) next to the main carriageway is simply an extra lane you can use for fast, through traffic.
  3. The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed.
  4. If your right-hand wheels leave the road surface on a narrow single carriageway, you can simply steer calmly back to the middle.

Correct answer: The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed.

About One-way streets, narrow single carriageways, separated carriageways and service roads: which statement is WRONG?

  1. A sign usually indicates which carriageway to follow; if there are no signs, you must keep right and therefore follow the right-hand carriageway.
  2. The main road is intended for fast and through traffic, the ventweg for slow and local traffic (sign C5 at the entrance).
  3. The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed.
  4. If your right-hand wheels leave the road surface on a narrow single carriageway, you can simply steer calmly back to the middle.
Show the answer

Correct answer: If your right-hand wheels leave the road surface on a narrow single carriageway, you can simply steer calmly back to the middle.

Watch out for a sharp edge and/or a lower-lying verge on narrow single carriageways outside the built-up area; if your right-hand wheels leave the road, you quickly lose control of your steering

Why learners get this wrong: On a road with separated carriageways and no sign, you may choose for yourself which carriageway to follow.
