Questions Learners Have About Parking & Stopping Distances

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

What is the minimum distance for parking from a junction in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, you are generally not allowed to park on, or at a distance of less than five metres from, a road junction. This rule ensures clear visibility for all road users approaching or exiting the junction.

Is it allowed to stop near a pedestrian crossing in the Netherlands?

Voluntary stopping, such as for picking up or dropping off passengers, is generally prohibited within five meters of a pedestrian crossing. Involuntary stopping, due to traffic, is allowed but you must not cause hindrance or block the crossing itself.

What is the difference between stopping and parking according to Dutch traffic law?

Stopping refers to halting your vehicle for a short duration to pick up/drop off passengers or load/unload goods. Parking is stopping for any other reason or for a longer duration than immediately required for these actions, such as making a phone call or checking a map.

Why are specific parking distances required near intersections and crossings?

Specific parking distances are required to maintain clear sight lines for all road users, especially vulnerable ones like pedestrians and cyclists. Parking too close can obstruct views, creating blind spots and significantly increasing the risk of collisions.

Can I stop my vehicle on a cycle lane in the Netherlands?

No, stopping on a cycle lane or on the carriageway directly next to a cycle lane is strictly prohibited in the Netherlands. This rule protects cyclists and ensures their free passage.

What are the rules for parking near a bus stop in the Netherlands?

Parking is generally prohibited within 12 metres of a bus stop sign or at the checkered marking if present. However, stopping to immediately pick up or drop off passengers is an exception and is allowed at bus stops.
