Near Amersfoort the sign on a pole has disappeared after a collision; only the under-sign with a lorry silhouette is still hanging there. A lorry may not enter this road now, because that under-sign still applies on its own.

True
✓ False

Correct answer: False

Explanation

False — you let the under-sign apply separately from the sign above it. An under-sign only gives further explanation of the main sign; if that sign is gone, the under-sign has no meaning of its own and prohibits nothing.
