You are cycling through Deventer. At the end of a narrow street two round red signs with a white bar (C2) stand on both sides of the entrance, without an additional plate. In the street cars are coming towards you. What do you do?
- ✓ You do not cycle in; this end is closed to cyclists too
- You cycle in as soon as the oncoming traffic has passed
- You cycle in, because a sign like that is only meant for cars
Correct answer: You do not cycle in; this end is closed to cyclists too
Explanation
False — you read this sign as a narrow passage where you only give way. The round red sign with a white bar means: no entry from this side; the street is a one-way road you may only enter from the other end.
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you read this sign as a narrow passage where you only give way. The round red sign with a white bar means: no entry from this side; the street is a one-way road you may only enter from the other end.
- Wrong: you think cyclists are exempt automatically. The sign closes this end to all vehicles, bicycles included; only an additional plate with 'uitgezonderd' (except) and a bicycle symbol makes an exception.
