Traffic signs are:  \n\u003C road signs,  \n\u003C traffic lights,  \n\u003C traffic signs on the road surface.  \n3.1 Traffic signs  \nSection 14 describes the most common traffic signs, road markings and road signs in the Netherlands. We recommend you read this section carefully in preparation for your theory test.  \nScope  \nUsually traffic signs apply in relation to the entire width of the road where they can be found. Only the signs with a ban on parking or waiting apply to the side of the road where they are located. The word 'zone' may be specified above a traffic sign.The sign then applies to the whole area that is designated as a zone.  \nSupplementary traffic signs  \nThese can be placed under traffic signs. Those supplementary traffic signs can indicate when the sign applies and for which group of road users.The symbols on the supplementary traffic signs have the same meaning as specified in the traffic sign register.  \n62  \nRoad signs 3   \nIf there is only a symbol on the supplementary traffic sign, the sign only applies to that category, but if the word 'excepted' is included, it does not.  \nA B  \nSupplementary traffic sign A indicates that the traffic sign is only in force over 500 metres. For example, this could be a parking ban: you can ride in here, but not more than 500 metres. Supplementary traffic sign B indicates that the traffic sign for the next 500 metres is applicable.  \nCategories of traffic signs  \nThe traffic signs are divided into 11 categories.The categories are indicated with letters and the signs within those groups are with numbers. The traffic sign categories are:  \n(A) Speed signs  \nThese signs ban driving/riding faster or specify the end of that speed limit. They can also indicate a maximum speed for an entire zone. Thereis also a sign that only indicates an advisory speed.  \n(B) Give-way signs  \nThese signs regulate priority at intersections and at some curving roads. There are give-way signs that oblige you to stop and signs that ask you to carefully approach the situation.  \n63  \n3 Road signs  \n64  \n(C) Closed roads  \nThese signs determine who cannot enter or use a road.  \n(D) Direction signs  \nThese signs require you to follow the indicated direction.  \n(E) Parking and stand still signs  \nThese signs arrange where you are and where you are not allowed to stop or park.  \n(F) Other commands and prohibitions  \nThese signs tell you where and who you may or may not overtake, when you must give way to oncoming traffic or when other prohibitions are cancelled.  \n(G) Signs indicating traffic regulations  \nThese signs indicate a motorway, a home zone, footpath, cycle/moped lane or bridleway.  \nRoad signs 3   \n(H) Signs indicating that you are entering or exiting the built-up area  \n(J) Warning signs  \nWarning signs indicate imminent danger and urge you to take this into account. Warning signs are placed where even an alert driver does not notice the danger or not in time, because often no danger is to be expected.  \n(K) Road signs  \nThese signs give you information about the direction you need to take in order to reach a certain location and whether the route runs via a motorway, carriageway or provincial road.  \n(L) Information signs  \nThese signs show you where and how many lanes have been made, whether a lane ends, whether a cul-de-sac is involved, etc.  \nItem for consideration  \nIf you see a traffic sign, you should always quickly assess whether the sign is meant for you, what it means and what behaviour or action you expect from it.  \n65  \n3 Road signs  \nDynamic route information  \nOn electronic signs (especially on motorways near cities) information can be shown that helps you choose the best route. The sign on the left shows which traffic queues you can expect from your current position (arrow left below) . The sign on the right indicates your travel time to'junction Galder' via two routes.The ro","cbCaijRc23229orT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijRc23229orT","pdf",11034791,16,"English","# Section 3 Road signs\n## General rule\n## 3.1 Traffic signs\n## Scope\n## Supplementary traffic signs\n## Categories of traffic signs\n## Item for consideration\n## Dynamic route information\n## Temporary traffic signs\n## Matrix boards\n## Maximum speed rules\n## Getting prepared for your Theory and Practical Exam","[{\"question\":\"What is the general rule when you see a traffic sign?\",\"answer\":\"You should quickly assess whether the sign is meant for you, what it means, and what behaviour or action it requires.\"},{\"question\":\"How do supplementary traffic signs work under a main traffic sign?\",\"answer\":\"They can indicate when the main sign applies and which group of road users it concerns.
