Questions Learners Have About Temporary Stopping Rules

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

What is the main difference between stopping and parking in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, stopping is a brief halt for immediate actions like dropping off/picking up passengers or loading/unloading goods. Parking is stopping for any other reason, or for longer than these immediate actions require, such as making a phone call or waiting for someone.

Am I allowed to stop at a Dutch bus stop to drop off a passenger?

Yes, there is a specific exception in Dutch traffic law: you are allowed to stop at a bus stop specifically for the purpose of picking up or dropping off passengers. However, other types of stopping or parking are still prohibited there.

Where is temporary stopping strictly prohibited in the Netherlands?

Temporary stopping is prohibited at intersections, level crossings, on a cycle lane or the carriageway next to it, at or within five metres of a crossing, in a tunnel, on the road next to a bus lane, and next to a solid yellow line.

Does stopping to post a letter count as loading goods?

No, stopping to post a letter is considered parking, not loading or unloading goods. Loading or unloading goods refers to items of a certain weight or size that require a brief stop.

While stopping is generally allowed on both sides of the road where permitted, the right side is recommended for safety reasons according to Dutch traffic rules.
