Near Landgraaf you are driving on a wide road with two lanes in each direction. Beside the road is a yellow sign reading 'N276'. What kind of road are you on?

Explanation

False — a wide road is not yet a motorway. The letter N marks a Dutch main road that is NOT a motorway; motorways carry an A number

Why learners get this wrong

• Wrong — the letters are mixed up. An international European main route has an E number; an N-road is a Dutch main road that is not a motorway
• Wrong — a wide road is not yet a motorway. The letter N marks a Dutch main road that is NOT a motorway; motorways carry an A number
