In Waalwijk you are facing a narrow bus gate, within the built-up area, with a shorter route to your destination behind it. There is no bus in sight at that moment. What is the correct choice?
- ✓ I take a detour; the bus gate is for buses only, regardless of whether I would fit through now
- I quickly drive into the bus gate, since no bus is coming anyway
- I drive into the bus gate because I would be outside the built-up area here and the rule would not apply
Correct answer: I take a detour; the bus gate is for buses only, regardless of whether I would fit through now
Explanation
False
Why learners get this wrong
- A car gets stuck in a bus gate regardless of whether a bus is approaching at that moment
- The built-up-area condition belongs to the bus-stop rule (Book p.92), not to the bus gate (Book p.93), which applies wherever it has been installed.
