On a rainy Tuesday evening, while loading furniture for a move in Bergen op Zoom, the removal van is parked next to a sign with TWO red stripes crossing each other. May the driver stand still here to load?
- ✓ No — two crossed stripes is sign E2, a standing-still ban, which also forbids loading/unloading
- Yes — that sign only forbids parking, loading/unloading is always allowed
Correct answer: No — two crossed stripes is sign E2, a standing-still ban, which also forbids loading/unloading
Explanation
Two crossed stripes (a cross) is sign E2, not E1 — E2 forbids ALL standing still, including loading/unloading.
