You leave Wijk bij Duurstede via a 30 km-zone near a primary school, then exit the built-up area onto the N225, and further on you see a blue sign with a car silhouette. What speed applies on that last stretch?
- ✓ 100 km/u — the blue sign with the car silhouette marks an autoweg
- 80 km/u — outside the built-up area it's always 80 anyway
- 30 km/u — the 30-zone near the school stays in force until the next built-up area
Correct answer: 100 km/u — the blue sign with the car silhouette marks an autoweg
Explanation
The blue sign with the car silhouette marks an AUTOWEG: 100 applies there, not the ordinary 80 of an overige weg
Why learners get this wrong
- The blue sign with the car silhouette marks an AUTOWEG: 100 applies there, not the ordinary 80 of an overige weg
- A 30 km-zone ends at the built-up-area boundary sign itself; outside the built-up area the road-type sign (here: autoweg) takes over
