How the exam asks it

About Special markings: yellow lines, bus strips, block markings, filter lanes: which statement is correct?

  1. Along a yellow line you may always stop briefly, as long as you are not parking — regardless of whether the line is solid or broken.
  2. A bus strip marked 'BUS' may only be used by scheduled buses.
  3. During roadworks the permanent white marking keeps applying alongside the temporary yellow marking; you must take both into account.
  4. Block markings in fact permit the opposite: drivers to the right of the marking may overtake drivers to the left of it on the right.
