At a school in Zaanstad there is a broken yellow line along the kerb. You want to stop there briefly to let your child get out and then drive off straight away. Is it correct that this is allowed?

Explanation

False — you read the broken yellow line as a stopping ban. Along a broken yellow line you may not park, but stopping briefly to let someone get in or out is allowed; only a solid yellow line forbids that too.
