Questions Learners Have About Special Lanes

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

When can I use a bus lane in the Netherlands?

In the Netherlands, bus lanes are generally reserved for buses and public transport. You may only use a bus lane if the markings explicitly allow it for your vehicle type, or if it is a broken line for pre-sorting before a turn, provided you do not hinder other traffic. A lane marked 'BUS' is for buses and coaches, while 'LIJNBUS' is strictly for public buses.

What do 'BUS' and 'LIJNBUS' markings mean on a lane?

A lane marked with 'BUS' can be used by drivers of buses (including coaches) and public buses. If marked with 'LIJNBUS', only drivers of public buses may use it. Emergency vehicles with an urgent task are also allowed to use these lanes.

Do trams always have priority in the Netherlands?

Trams generally have priority over other road users at equivalent intersections and when turning, as they cannot deviate from their rails. However, tram drivers must still adhere to traffic signs and give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings or vehicles on priority roads.

Can I pre-sort on a bicycle lane when turning right?

You may use a bicycle lane with broken lines for pre-sorting before turning right, but you must not hinder cyclists, snorfietsers, or disability vehicle drivers. It is strictly prohibited to pre-sort on a bicycle lane marked with a solid line.

Is stopping allowed in a bus lane?

No, stopping is generally prohibited in bus lanes, which are considered target group lanes. This includes stopping to pick up or drop off passengers, with very few specific exceptions which are usually clearly marked otherwise, such as designated bus stops for public transport only.
