Stroomweg als autoweg groene belijning 100kmu ongelijkvloers

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

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.

  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.

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.
