Questions Learners Have About Flashing & Faulty Lights

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

What does a flashing yellow traffic light mean in the Netherlands?

A flashing yellow light signifies danger and a warning to proceed with caution. The traffic light is not working as a primary control, so you must then observe and follow any applicable traffic signs and general priority rules.

How should I treat a flashing red traffic light?

A flashing red light in the Netherlands requires you to stop. It often indicates a closed level crossing, an open bridge, or other immediate hazards where driving is prohibited in the indicated direction. Always stop immediately and do not proceed until safe and permitted.

Who has priority if traffic lights are completely out of order?

If traffic lights are completely out of order (e.g., due to a power outage), they no longer regulate priority. You must then revert to observing and following existing traffic signs and road markings. If no signs are present, the general Dutch priority rule applies: traffic from the right has priority.

Are flashing yellow lights the same as completely unlit traffic lights?

While both indicate that the traffic lights are not actively controlling traffic flow, a flashing yellow light serves as an explicit warning of danger, urging you to take extra care. A completely unlit light means there is no active signal at all. In both cases, you must revert to priority signs and general traffic rules.

What if a traffic light is stuck on one color?

If a traffic light is stuck on a single color (e.g., permanently red or green), it is considered malfunctioning. You should approach with extreme caution, assume the light is out of order, and apply the fallback rules by observing traffic signs and general priority rules.
