Questions Learners Have About Overtaking Restrictions

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

What does the F-1 sign mean in the Netherlands?

The F-1 sign prohibits motor vehicles from overtaking each other. This applies to cars, motorcycles, and other motor vehicles, but generally not to non-motor vehicles like bicycles or mopeds.

Can I cross a solid line to overtake in the Netherlands?

Generally, you may not cross a solid line between lanes to overtake. However, if there is a broken line on your side of the solid line, you may cross it. Edge lines and lines for hard shoulders can also have exceptions.

Is overtaking always forbidden near a pedestrian crossing in the Netherlands?

Yes, overtaking is absolutely prohibited just before or on a pedestrian crossing (zebra crossing) in the Netherlands, regardless of whether pedestrians are present.

What's the difference between a single solid line and a double solid line regarding overtaking?

A single solid line generally prohibits crossing to overtake. A double solid line reinforces this prohibition, often indicating areas of higher risk or where two-way traffic separation is critical. Both should not be crossed for overtaking, with specific exceptions for broken lines on your side.

Are there special rules for overtaking near hill crests?

While not explicitly covered by a specific sign, overtaking near a hill crest is generally prohibited in the Netherlands due to obstructed view and potential danger. The rule is 'If in doubt about overtaking - do not do it!'

Can I overtake a tram on the right?

Yes, in certain situations, such as in a traffic jam or just before and on a roundabout, you may overtake a tram on the right. Always ensure it is safe and permitted by road markings.
