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.
- A bus strip marked 'BUS' may only be used by scheduled buses.
- ✓ Drivers are REQUIRED to follow, at a junction, the direction their filter lane indicates.
- Block markings (staggered white blocks) forbid overtaking, just like a solid line.
Correct answer: Drivers are REQUIRED to follow, at a junction, the direction their filter lane indicates.
Explanation
Drivers are REQUIRED to follow, at a junction, the direction their filter lane indicates. It is not advice but a command
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
- 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
- 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
