About Autoweg and autosnelweg: G3, G1 and the speed rules: which statement is WRONG?
- An autoweg (G3) requires min. 50 km/u and may have at-grade junctions; an autosnelweg (G1) requires min. 60 km/u, always has separated carriageways with a hard shoulder, and never at-grade junctions.
- Using the hard shoulder, refuge bay or verge with the car is forbidden, except in an emergency (for example a breakdown).
- ✓ With more than two lanes, no vehicle at all may use the left-hand lanes, not even an ordinary car.
- During the day (6.00-19.00) the maximum speed is 100 km/u; in the evening and at night it is 100, 120 or 130 km/u. 130 is not the default, it is the highest of three possible evening/night values.
Correct answer: With more than two lanes, no vehicle at all may use the left-hand lanes, not even an ordinary car.
Explanation
The duty to use only the two right-hand lanes when there are more than two lanes applies specifically to trucks and to vehicle-plus-trailer combinations longer than 7 metres together. An ordinary car may use every lane
