Outside the built-up area, on an 80 km/h road near Vijlen, you see a triangular sign with a red border and a black arrow bending to the right (J2). What is the correct reaction?
- Turn right at the next side road: the arrow indicates a mandatory direction.
- ✓ Reduce speed before the bend: the road curves sharply to the right and the force pushes you to the left.
- Expect a bend to the left: the arrow shows the oncoming driver's line.
Correct answer: Reduce speed before the bend: the road curves sharply to the right and the force pushes you to the left.
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- J signs (triangle, red border) warn; commands are round and blue (D series). J2 = dangerous bend to the right: not a turn-off, but a bend in the road itself. Book p.245-246 (H14).
- The arrow on J2 bends to the RIGHT: the road bends right, seen from your own direction of travel; J3 is the bend to the left. The sign never shows the oncoming driver's line. Book p.245-246 (H14).
