Onderbord symbool beperking

A symbol without the word 'uitgezonderd' would instead restrict the sign to that group. An under-sign with only a symbol restricts the sign to that group: the parking ban here applies only to lorries.

How the exam asks it

Near Harderwijk stands a closure sign with an under-sign below it: the word 'uitgezonderd' plus a bicycle symbol. May a cyclist continue here?

  1. Yes, 'uitgezonderd' + symbol exempts cyclists from the ban
  2. 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.

An under-sign with the word 'uitgezonderd' (excepted) plus a bicycle symbol means the traffic sign applies TO cyclists specifically, and only to them.

  1. False
  2. True
Show the answer

Correct answer: False

'uitgezonderd' + symbol = the sign does NOT apply to that group (exemption); a bare symbol without 'uitgezonderd' restricts the sign TO that group instead

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.

About Under-signs: explanation, restriction, exemption and distance: which statement is correct?

  1. The under-signs '500 m' and '↑500 m↑' mean exactly the same thing: both simply indicate the distance to the main sign.
  2. An under-sign with the word 'uitgezonderd' (excepted) plus a bicycle symbol means the traffic sign applies TO cyclists specifically, and only to them.
  3. If an under-sign at an E-parking sign shows days and hours, the parking ban still applies all week — the under-sign is just extra information.
  4. An under-sign contains a further explanation OF THE TRAFFIC SIGN; without a main sign an under-sign has no independent effect.

Correct answer: An under-sign contains a further explanation OF THE TRAFFIC SIGN; without a main sign an under-sign has no independent effect.

About Under-signs: explanation, restriction, exemption and distance: which statement is WRONG?

  1. If an under-sign at E4 through E8, E12 or E13 shows days or hours, the orders/prohibitions apply ONLY during those days or hours — outside that window the ban does not apply.
  2. '500 m' (no arrows) = applies over 500 metres from here; '↑500 m↑' (with arrows) = applies for the coming 500 metres — two different applications of the same number, not synonyms.
  3. 'uitgezonderd' + symbol = the sign does NOT apply to that group (exemption); a bare symbol without 'uitgezonderd' restricts the sign TO that group instead.
  4. An under-sign with a symbol applies on its own, even if the main sign above it has been removed or is illegible.

Correct answer: An under-sign with a symbol applies on its own, even if the main sign above it has been removed or is illegible.
