About One-way streets, narrow single carriageways, separated carriageways and service roads: which statement is correct?
- If your right-hand wheels leave the asphalt, the only risk is damage to tyres or rims; the steering stays under control.
- A service road (ventweg) next to the main carriageway is simply an extra lane you can use for fast, through traffic.
- ✓ The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed.
- If your right-hand wheels leave the road surface on a narrow single carriageway, you can simply steer calmly back to the middle.
Correct answer: The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed.
Explanation
The prohibition applies to reversing as a driving manoeuvre along the road and to U-turns; backing into a parking space is explicitly still allowed
Why learners get this wrong
- On narrow single-carriageway roads outside the built-up area: watch out for a sharp road edge and/or lower verge; if your right-hand wheels leave the road, you quickly lose control of the steering
- The main road is intended for fast and through traffic, the ventweg for slow and local traffic (sign C5 at the entrance)
- Watch out for a sharp edge and/or a lower-lying verge on narrow single carriageways outside the built-up area; if your right-hand wheels leave the road, you quickly lose control of your steering
