Questions Learners Have About Lane Merging

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Lane Merging, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

What is the zipper merge principle in Dutch traffic?

The zipper merge principle dictates that when two lanes merge into one, drivers should use both lanes up to the merge point, then take turns (like a zipper) to merge into the single lane. It is not about one lane having automatic priority.

Do I have priority if I am in the continuing lane during a merge?

No, in standard lane reduction situations where the zipper merge applies, the vehicle in the continuing lane does not automatically have priority over a vehicle merging from the ending lane. Drivers are expected to alternate and merge cooperatively.

What should I do if other drivers are merging early?

While it's common to see drivers merge early, the most efficient and safest method, according to the zipper merge principle, is to use the full length of your lane and then merge. However, always prioritize safety and adapt to the flow of traffic, while still aiming to follow the principle.

How does signage affect merging rules?

Road signs and markings can sometimes modify general merging rules, especially in specific situations like construction zones or where traffic flow needs strict control. Always pay close attention to temporary or permanent signage that indicates required merging behavior or priority.

Why is correct zipper merging important for the Dutch driving exam?

Understanding correct zipper merging is crucial because it's a common traffic situation and a frequent topic in the Dutch driving theory exam. Knowing the rules demonstrates safe driving behavior and your ability to navigate complex road conditions efficiently.
