At dusk you approach a roundabout alongside the N31 near Stadskanaal; the digital speed signs on the road show 100. Sign B6 and shark's-teeth are present at your entry. A truck is already on the roundabout. What applies?
- I have priority, because whoever comes from the right goes first
- ✓ The truck on the roundabout has priority
- I have priority, because I saw the roundabout coming first
- When in doubt you may enter as long as the road looks empty
Correct answer: The truck on the roundabout has priority
Explanation
False — Who 'sees it first' is not a rule — sign B6 settles this: the truck on the roundabout goes first
Why learners get this wrong
- With sign B6 + shark's-teeth the roundabout wins, not the rechts-regel
- Wrong. Who 'sees it first' is not a rule — sign B6 settles this: the truck on the roundabout goes first
- Wrong. Sign B6 leaves no room for 'looks empty' — the truck on the roundabout has priority
