What the exam asks about this sign

The question is what this plate means: the sign above applies to cars only. Under a C sign that means 'closed to cars', under E1 'no parking for cars'. Trap: candidates think the symbol is an exception; without the word 'uitgezonderd' it is a limitation.

Often confused with

• 'Except heavy goods vehicle' sub-panel OB61 — Except lorries: an exception, not a limitation.
• Closed to motor vehicles with more than two wheels C6 — Closed to motor vehicles on more than two wheels.
• No parking E1 — No parking: often with this plate.
