Near Harderwijk stands a closure sign with an under-sign below it: the word 'uitgezonderd' plus a bicycle symbol. May a cyclist continue here?
- Yes, 'uitgezonderd' + symbol exempts cyclists from the ban
- No, 'uitgezonderd' + symbol means the ban applies exclusively to cyclists
Show the answer
Correct answer: Yes, 'uitgezonderd' + symbol exempts cyclists from the ban
'Uitgezonderd' + symbol = that group is EXEMPT, the ban does not apply to them.
Why learners get this wrong: An under-sign with the word 'uitgezonderd' (excepted) plus a bicycle symbol means the traffic sign applies TO cyclists specifically, and only to them.
