Signs, markings, lights & authority

In Hoorn a street is closed at its start with sign C1 (closed in both directions), without an additional plate. A cyclist waiting next to you at the junction says: 'That sign only applies to cars, I'll just cycle in.' Is that true?

Correct answer

False

Explanation

False — you assume cyclists are exempt automatically. Sign C1 closes the road to all vehicles, bicycles included; cyclists may only enter if an additional plate with 'uitgezonderd' (except) and a bicycle symbol says so. Book p.239-240.
