Questions Learners Have About Traffic Calming

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

What are traffic calming measures?

Traffic calming measures are design features used in urban areas to reduce vehicle speeds and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. Examples include speed humps, road narrowings, chicanes, and raised crossings, commonly found throughout the Netherlands.

How should I react to a speed hump in the Netherlands?

When approaching a speed hump, you should reduce your speed significantly and smoothly before driving over it. This prevents damage to your vehicle, maintains comfort for passengers, and ensures you have control, especially if vulnerable road users are nearby.

Who has priority at a road narrowing in the Netherlands?

Priority at a road narrowing in the Netherlands is often indicated by signs like F-5 (give way to oncoming traffic) or F-6 (oncoming traffic must give way). If no signs are present, drivers should mutually decide who goes first, often requiring one driver to wait or make space, prioritizing larger vehicles like lorries if they cannot easily use the verge.

Why are traffic calming measures important for the driving theory exam?

The Dutch driving theory exam tests your knowledge of traffic rules in various situations, including urban environments with traffic calming. Understanding these measures, associated speed limits, and priority rules is essential for answering questions correctly and demonstrating safe driving competence.

How do chicanes affect driving behavior?

Chicanes are deliberate curves or zig-zags in the road designed to force drivers to reduce their speed. When encountering a chicane, drivers must slow down, maintain vehicle control, and be extra vigilant for oncoming traffic or vulnerable road users who may be present in the restricted space.
