About Special markings: yellow lines, bus strips, block markings, filter lanes: which statement is correct?
- Along a yellow line you may always stop briefly, as long as you are not parking — regardless of whether the line is solid or broken.
- ✓ Temporarily placed road-surface signs outrank other road-surface signs already there, insofar as they are incompatible.
- Block markings (staggered white blocks) forbid overtaking, just like a solid line.
- A bus strip marked 'BUS' may only be used by scheduled buses.
Correct answer: Temporarily placed road-surface signs outrank other road-surface signs already there, insofar as they are incompatible.
Explanation
Temporarily placed road-surface signs outrank other road-surface signs already there, insofar as they are incompatible. During roadworks only the temporary (yellow) marking counts
Why learners get this wrong
- Along a yellow SOLID line you may not even stand still (all stopping is banned). Along a yellow BROKEN line you may not park, but briefly stopping to let someone in/out is allowed
- Block markings in fact permit the opposite: drivers to the right of the marking may overtake drivers to the left of it on the right. It is an exception, not a ban
- A strip marked 'BUS' may be used by a scheduled bus, a (coach) bus AND a tram. Only the wording 'LIJNBUS' restricts use to scheduled buses and trams
