Vlak voor een kruispunt zie je dit bord. Wat betekent het?
Explanation: A round blue sign with an arrow pointing straight up (D4) is a mandatory sign: you must follow the indicated direction, here straight ahead. Turning off is not allowed.NL: Je bent verplicht rechtdoor te rijdenSource: RVV 1990, verkeersbord D4
2. A prohibition from a round red-bordered sign, without a sub-sign, applies from the sign up to the next junction. Is this statement correct?
Show in Dutch
Een verbod van een rond bord met rode rand geldt zonder onderbord vanaf het bord tot aan het eerstvolgende kruispunt. Klopt deze stelling?
Explanation: Yes. A traffic sign only applies to the road section along which it stands: the stretch of road up to the next side road or junction. If the prohibition is to continue after that, the sign is repeated after the junction. An end sign can end the prohibition earlier. If the word 'zone' is shown above the sign, it applies throughout the area until the end of the zone (RVV 1990 art. 66).NL: JaSource: RVV 1990, verkeersborden C-serie
