Core: The woonerf: 15 km/h, pedestrians on the road, restricted parking

A woonerf is simply a public road, recognisable by its signs, but with special rules (Book p.89): the maximum speed is 15 km/h, pedestrians may walk on the roadway without a separate pavement, and parking is only allowed on your own property or on a place marked with a P. The entrance to or exit from a woonerf is usually an inrit or uitrit — the inrit/uitrit rule then applies: you give way to all road users, not only traffic from the right. The woonerf is deliberately designed as shared space: no kerb separating pedestrians from traffic, so that drivers behave as guests, not as owners of the roadway.
