Questions Learners Have About Residential Zones

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

What is a 'woonerf' in the Netherlands?

A 'woonerf' is a Dutch home zone or residential area specifically designed for a safe and pleasant living environment, giving priority to pedestrians and cyclists. Drivers must adjust their speed and behaviour accordingly.

What is the maximum speed limit in a Dutch home zone?

The maximum speed limit in a Dutch home zone (woonerf) is 15 km/h. Drivers must always be prepared to stop and give way to pedestrians.

Do pedestrians always have priority in a woonerf?

Yes, pedestrians, including children playing, generally have priority in Dutch home zones (woonerven). Drivers must adjust their speed and behaviour to ensure their safety.

How should I react to children playing near the road?

Always reduce your speed significantly and be prepared for unexpected movements. Children have less overview and can run into the road without looking, especially if chasing a ball or hiding between parked cars. Look carefully between and under parked cars.

Why is it important to practice residential area rules for the CBR exam?

Residential area rules, particularly those concerning speed limits and vulnerable road users like children, are common topics on the CBR driving theory exam. Understanding them is crucial for both passing the exam and driving safely.
