At the church in Schagen there is a sign with one red diagonal stripe on your side of the road. You want to stop there for two minutes to deliver a package at the front door. Is that allowed?
- ✓ Yes — one stripe only bans parking; briefly stopping to unload is allowed
- No — with one stripe you may not even stop briefly to deliver something
- No — one stripe bans stopping; with a cross only parking is banned
Correct answer: Yes — one stripe only bans parking; briefly stopping to unload is allowed
Explanation
False — you swap the two signs. One diagonal stripe (E1) only bans parking; the cross (E2) also bans stopping.
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong: you turn the parking ban into a stopping ban. With one diagonal stripe you may stop to load or unload or to let someone get in or out; only parking is banned.
- Wrong: you swap the two signs. One diagonal stripe (E1) only bans parking; the cross (E2) also bans stopping.
