Near Zundert you drive over a clearly lowered kerb onto a woonerf that leads to the car park of a holiday park. On the woonerf a car approaches from the right and a pedestrian is walking in the middle of the road. What do you do?

Explanation

False — you mix up the woonerf with the 30 km/h zone. On a woonerf the maximum speed is 15 km/h; 30 km/h belongs to the 30 km/h zone

Why learners get this wrong

• Wrong: you treat the entrance to the woonerf as an ordinary junction. The entrance is usually a driveway-type access; then you let all road users go first, including the pedestrian, not only traffic from the right
• Wrong: you mix up the woonerf with the 30 km/h zone. On a woonerf the maximum speed is 15 km/h; 30 km/h belongs to the 30 km/h zone
