You turn into a narrow street in Bemelen. There is no centre line and no separate cycle path; a cyclist and a pedestrian move between the parked cars. What kind of road is this, and how do you drive here?
- Access road: on such a quiet street you hardly need to adapt your driving
- Distributor road: cyclists belong on their own path, so you just drive on
- ✓ Access road: you expect cyclists and pedestrians and adapt your speed
Correct answer: Access road: you expect cyclists and pedestrians and adapt your speed
Explanation
False — you think the smallest road also has a separate cycle path, so this street must be something else. A road without a centre line, with cyclists and cars mixed and no separate cycle path, is exactly an access road
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you think the right behaviour matters mainly on fast roads. On every road category you adapt your behaviour; on an access road that means expecting cyclists and pedestrians on the carriageway and adapting your speed to them
- Wrong: you think the smallest road also has a separate cycle path, so this street must be something else. A road without a centre line, with cyclists and cars mixed and no separate cycle path, is exactly an access road
