At a junction in Breda all traffic lights flash yellow at night. There are no priority signs and no shark's teeth. A car is approaching from the right. You must let that car go first.
- ✓ True
- False
Correct answer: True
Explanation
False — you think the flashing yellow light regulates priority, like a normal traffic light. Flashing yellow only means: dangerous spot, be careful. Priority then follows from signs or shark's teeth, and if there are none, traffic from the right goes first.
