In Leeuwarden you approach a crossing with a busy road. In front of you is a triangular sign pointing downwards with a red border (B6); there is no stop line. You have a good view of the crossing road. What must you do here?
- Only let traffic from the right go first; traffic from the left waits for you
- ✓ Give way to traffic from left and right, without a duty to stop
- First come to a full stop and then give way, as with a stop sign
Correct answer: Give way to traffic from left and right, without a duty to stop
Explanation
False — you apply the 'right goes first' rule here. This sign means you give way to the drivers on the crossing road, from the left and from the right.
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you apply the 'right goes first' rule here. This sign means you give way to the drivers on the crossing road, from the left and from the right.
- Wrong: you mix up this sign and the stop sign. At the triangle pointing downwards you give way to traffic on the crossing road, but stopping is not required if the road is clear; only the octagonal stop sign obliges you to stop.
