Zebra inhaalverbod naast stoppen uitzondering

With multiple lanes in the same direction you MAY stop next to another stationary vehicle — that is not an exception to the overtaking ban, because you do not pass the vehicle, you only come to a stop alongside it.

How the exam asks it

About The zebra crossing: priority, overtaking ban and the 5-metre zone: which statement is correct?

  1. The stopping ban at a zebra crossing only applies before the crossing, not after it.
  2. You only need to give way to a pedestrian once they are actually walking on the zebra crossing, not while they are merely standing next to it waiting.
  3. The exception is STOPPING next to another stationary vehicle, not overtaking.
  4. Right before a zebra crossing you may stop briefly to let a passenger quickly get out, as long as it is short.
Show the answer

Correct answer: The exception is STOPPING next to another stationary vehicle, not overtaking.

The exception is STOPPING next to another stationary vehicle, not overtaking. Driving on and passing the vehicle remains forbidden right before or on the crossing

Why learners get this wrong: The stopping ban at a zebra crossing only applies before the crossing, not after it.

Open this question

On the boulevard in Noordwijk a cyclist is standing still next to a zebra crossing, clearly waiting to cross, but has not yet set foot on the road. Must you give way to them?

  1. No — only once they actually start walking must you wait
  2. Yes — being about to cross already counts as a priority situation
Show the answer

Correct answer: Yes — being about to cross already counts as a priority situation

The rule already applies once someone is 'about to cross'

Why learners get this wrong: You only need to give way to a pedestrian once they are actually walking on the zebra crossing, not while they are merely standing next to it waiting.

Correct answer: True

The rule already applies once someone is about to cross, not only once they are already walking. Waiting at the edge already counts

Why learners get this wrong: You only need to give way to a pedestrian once they are actually walking on the zebra crossing, not while they are merely standing next to it waiting.

Open this question

On the boulevard in Noordwijk you are in the right of two lanes in your direction, approaching a zebra crossing. In the left lane a car has stopped before the crossing. A pedestrian on the pavement clearly wants to cross. What do you do?

  1. I stop too and let the pedestrian cross
  2. I drive on, because he is still on the pavement
  3. I calmly pass the stationary car in my lane
Show the answer

Correct answer: I stop too and let the pedestrian cross

False — you confuse stopping alongside with overtaking. Just before or on a zebra crossing you may not overtake; you may stop next to the stationary car

Why learners get this wrong: You only need to give way to a pedestrian once they are actually walking on the zebra crossing, not while they are merely standing next to it waiting.

  1. True
  2. False
Show the answer

Correct answer: False

Why learners get this wrong: With multiple lanes in the same direction, you may overtake a vehicle that is stationary before the crossing, as long as you stay in a different lane.
