Outside Emmen you are driving on a priority road. You pass sign B2, end of priority road. Right after it comes a crossing without signs and without shark's teeth. A car approaches from the right and one from the left at the same time. What do you do?
- ✓ You let the car from the right go first and go ahead of the car from the left
- You drive on first, because you keep priority until the municipal boundary
- You let both cars go first, because after this sign you are on a side road
Correct answer: You let the car from the right go first and go ahead of the car from the left
Explanation
False — the end of the priority road does not make you a side road. The sign only ends the priority road; without other signs the main rule applies: you give way to traffic from the right, and traffic from the left gives way to you.
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you hold on to the priority road longer than the sign says. A priority road lasts until the end-of-priority-road sign; without other signs, traffic from the right goes first after that.
- Wrong: the end of the priority road does not make you a side road. The sign only ends the priority road; without other signs the main rule applies: you give way to traffic from the right, and traffic from the left gives way to you.
