Questions Learners Have About Traffic Lights & Priority

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

What do the different traffic light colours signify in Dutch traffic?

In the Netherlands, a red light means stop. Red and yellow together indicate that the light is about to turn green. Green means you may proceed, but you must still observe specific priority rules. Yellow means stop, unless you are too close to stop safely, in which case you may continue. A flashing yellow light indicates caution and that traffic signs and general priority rules apply.

What happens if traffic lights at an intersection are not working?

If traffic lights are out of order or flashing yellow, they no longer dictate priority. In such cases, you must apply the priority rules indicated by traffic signs (like 'give way' or 'stop' signs) or, if no signs are present, the general Dutch traffic rules regarding right of way.

Does a green traffic light always mean I have unrestricted right of way?

No, a green light does not always grant unrestricted right of way. Even with a green light, you must still yield to pedestrians crossing, and when turning, you must yield to through traffic on the same road and to oncoming traffic, especially when turning left at a round lamp traffic light.

What is the difference between round and arrow-shaped traffic lights when turning?

When turning at a green light with round lamps, you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. However, if you are turning at a green arrow-shaped lamp, it means other conflicting traffic (oncoming or alongside) has a red light, allowing you to turn unhindered.

How do lane-specific traffic lights work in the Netherlands?

Lane-specific traffic lights, often arrow-shaped, apply only to vehicles in particular lanes or making specific movements. A green arrow allows you to proceed in that direction, while a red cross above a lane indicates that the lane is closed and must not be used.
