In Steenbergen you drive into a 30 km/h zone near a school. The entrance is a driveway-type access: you cross a continuous pavement. On the zone street schoolchildren cycle between the cars; pedestrians stay on the pavement. What do you do?
- At the entrance you drive on as on any road; after that at most 30 km/h
- At the entrance you let the traffic go first; after that at most 15 km/h
- ✓ At the entrance you let the traffic go first; after that at most 30 km/h
Correct answer: At the entrance you let the traffic go first; after that at most 30 km/h
Explanation
False — you do not recognise the zone entrance as a driveway-type access. If you enter a 30 km/h zone via such an access, you let all road users go first, just as at any other driveway
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you do not recognise the zone entrance as a driveway-type access. If you enter a 30 km/h zone via such an access, you let all road users go first, just as at any other driveway
- Wrong: you mix up the 30 km/h zone with the woonerf. In a 30 km/h zone the maximum speed is 30 km/h; the 15 km/h belongs to the woonerf, where pedestrians walk on the road
