Wegtype buiten kom overige 80

The blue sign with the car silhouette marks an autoweg: 100 applies there, not the ordinary 80 of an overige weg. Green belongs to both road types outside the built-up area: double broken lines with green = 80 road (distributor road), double solid lines with green = expressway 100.

How the exam asks it

About Maximum speeds per road type: the five-rung ladder: which statement is WRONG?

  1. The text itself explicitly says 'unless signs indicate a different maximum'.
  2. The woonerf has its own, lower maximum of 15 km/u; the 30 km-zone a separate maximum of 30 km/u.
  3. Km/u applies on ORDINARY roads outside the built-up area.
  4. The standard maximum speed on the autosnelweg is 100 km/u.
Show the answer

Correct answer: The standard maximum speed on the autosnelweg is 100 km/u.

The LEGAL standard speed on motorways is 130 km/u; 100 is the daytime reduction between 06:00 and 19:00. This atom only covers the non-motorway ladder; the day/night nuance lives in the sister atom

Why learners get this wrong: Within the built-up area exactly 50 km/u always applies; signs can never change that.

Open this question

You leave Wijk bij Duurstede via a 30 km-zone near a primary school, then exit the built-up area onto the N225, and further on you see a blue sign with a car silhouette. What speed applies on that last stretch?

  1. 100 km/u — the blue sign with the car silhouette marks an autoweg
  2. 80 km/u — outside the built-up area it's always 80 anyway
  3. 30 km/u — the 30-zone near the school stays in force until the next built-up area
Show the answer

Correct answer: 100 km/u — the blue sign with the car silhouette marks an autoweg

The blue sign with the car silhouette marks an AUTOWEG: 100 applies there, not the ordinary 80 of an overige weg

Why learners get this wrong: Outside the built-up area 80 km/u always applies, even on an autoweg.

Open this question

Km/u applies on ORDINARY roads outside the built-up area.

  1. False
  2. True
Show the answer

Correct answer: True

Km/u applies on ORDINARY roads outside the built-up area. An autoweg is a separate road type with its own signage and its own maximum of 100 km/u

Why learners get this wrong: Outside the built-up area 80 km/u always applies, even on an autoweg.

About Maximum speeds per road type: the five-rung ladder: which statements are correct? (multiple answers possible)

  1. Km/u applies on ORDINARY roads outside the built-up area.
  2. The LEGAL standard speed on motorways is 130 km/u; 100 is the daytime reduction between 06:00 and 19:00.
  3. A woonerf and a 30 km-zone are the same thing: both 30 km/u.
  4. After sign G4 (end of expressway) 60 km/h applies automatically until the next speed sign.
Show the answer

Correct answer: Km/u applies on ORDINARY roads outside the built-up area.; The LEGAL standard speed on motorways is 130 km/u; 100 is the daytime reduction between 06:00 and 19:00.

G4 only lifts the expressway regime; the road outside the built-up area is then an ordinary road: 80 km/h — 60 applies only with sign A1-60 / zone sign or on the recognisable 60 road without a centre line

Why learners get this wrong: A woonerf and a 30 km-zone are the same thing: both 30 km/u.
