This road sign prohibits pedestrian access
Explanation:
🚶♂️ The sign represents the end of a residential zone (shared space). This means that the special rules of this zone end (reduced speed, priority for pedestrians, parking allowed outside marked spaces, etc.).
❌ This is not a prohibition on pedestrian access, but just a return to normal traffic rules.
Tip 🚦:
When you see this crossed-out sign with pedestrian, car, and child symbols: think “end of special zone,” not prohibition.
This road sign obliges me to turn right
Explanation:
↪️ This blue sign indicates the obligation to pass to the right of an obstacle, not necessarily to turn.
👉 Here, the driver can continue straight after passing to the right of the central island.
Tip 🔵:

Overtaking a car is prohibited under a bridge
Explanation:
🌉 There is no specific prohibition against overtaking under a bridge as long as forward visibility is sufficient and no line or sign prohibits it. Here, visibility seems good.
Tip:
👀 No sign + good visibility = overtaking allowed… even under a bridge!
I can use this lane
Explanation:
🛣 The prohibition indicated on the sign is to the left of the roadway, so it does not concern the lane you are on. The additional sign that mentions “except TRAM-BUS” is also positioned to apply to the other direction. So I am driving in my clear lane without restriction.
Tip:
📍 A sign to the left of your direction of travel = it generally concerns the other lane or the opposite direction! 🚗➡️
I can overtake the tram on the left

Tip:
🔔 Small maneuver = large turn signal mandatory! Even to overtake a stopped car.
I want to change lanes

Tip 🔄: The one who changes lanes, changes direction, or makes a maneuver never has priority.
In this tunnel, in a built-up area, I can travel at 70 km/h.
Explanation: 🚦This tunnel is in a built-up area, so the maximum speed is 50 km/h (unless otherwise indicated, which is not the case here).
Tip 🏙️: In built-up areas, 50 km/h maximum, even in a tunnel.
The light has just turned green. I can enter the intersection.
Explanation: ❌ Even if the light is green, the presence of a qualified officer takes precedence over all signals. Here, the officer asks to stop, so I must obey the officer.
Tip 🚨: If an officer is present, they always have priority over lights and signs. Their gesture prevails.
When driving at 127 km/h on the highway, I risk immediate withdrawal of my driving license
Explanation: 🛣️ The maximum speed on the highway is 120 km/h. Immediate withdrawal of the license applies in case of exceeding by more than 30 km/h, therefore from 151 km/h.
Tip ⚖️: From 1 to 29 km/h over = fine. From 30 km/h = possible license withdrawal.
I can turn right
Explanation: ✅ The light is green and allows turning right. It cancels the stop sign, so there’s no need to stop as long as I respect the priority.
Tip 🚦: If the light is working, it takes precedence over other signs like the STOP sign.

A qualified officer stops me for crossing a level crossing while the red flashing lights are on
Explanation:

Tip ⚖️: 👮♂️ Officer = observes, 🚨 revocation = magistrate!
This road sign indicates
Explanation:
🟢 This green pictogram with a person running towards a door represents an emergency exit, typically located in a tunnel or a closed building.
Tip 🚨:
🧠 Green color = rescue. Silhouette running towards an exit = emergency evacuation!
At the next intersection

Tip: 📛 If a weight restriction is specified ➡️ it only concerns large vehicles!
I can pass between these two vehicles traveling at 100 km/h
Explanation: Lane splitting (filtering) is prohibited above 50 km/h. Here, at 100 km/h, it is prohibited, even for a motorcycle.
Tip: 🏍️ Lane splitting yes but maximum 50 km/h, otherwise ❌ prohibited!
The vehicles on the right are parked. I can overtake these riders

Tip:
🔁 Overtaking on the right is prohibited unless the vehicle in front is turning left or if you are in a faster lane (bus lane or reserved lane).
I can overtake the vehicle in front of me
Explanation:
The continuous white line is rendered ineffective by the temporary orange marking 🚧. This is a construction situation, and only the orange line must be respected.
Tip:
🟠 In the presence of orange lines, they take precedence over white lines. This means that even if the white line is continuous, if a broken orange line is drawn, you can overtake.
I must let this driver take his place in his vehicle
Explanation:
🚶♂️ The driver does not have any special priority to get into their car. They must ensure themselves that they do not obstruct traffic by opening their door.
Tip:

The bottom sign with the black arrow indicates a dangerous descent
Explanation:
The black arrow 📉 does not indicate a dangerous descent, but the end of the obligation of the weight or speed limit indicated above.
Tip:
↘️ A black arrow pointing downwards often signifies an end of a requirement or an upcoming change, not a danger.
I can move up this stopped line of traffic
Explanation:
🚗 If the lane is stopped, it is permitted to carefully move up on the right, unless otherwise indicated (sign, cycle path, danger).
Tip:
🅿️ Moving up a lane on the right is allowed when vehicles are stopped, but watch out for opening doors or pedestrians.
This vehicle has indicated its intention to turn left. Can I overtake it on the right by using the shoulder?
Explanation 🧾:
The shoulder at ground level (same level as the roadway) can exceptionally be used to overtake a vehicle that is turning left.
Tip 🧠:
↪️ Vehicle turning left + shoulder at ground level = ✅ overtaking possible
⚠️ Never on a raised shoulder! (set back)
Flanders. Which sign obliges me to drive at 50 km/h?
Explanation 🧾:
In Flanders, the white sign with the built-up area pictogram (the bottom one) is the one that officially signals the entry into a built-up area => therefore a 50 km/h limit.
Tip 🧠:
🏙️ Black pictogram on white background = entry into built-up area = max 50 km/h 🚗
This cyclist wants to cross the road using the pedestrian crossing. I must give way to him
Explanation 🧾:
🚲 Cyclists must dismount from their bicycle to be considered pedestrians. Here, the person remains on the bicycle = not prioritized.
Tip 🧠:
👣 Pedestrian crossing = priority for pedestrians on foot only! 🚴♀️ must walk to have priority
At the intersection
Explanation 🧾:
The blue round sign with the white arrow means “mandatory passage to the right of the island”, not an obligation to turn. The vertical arrow on the traffic lights (and the absence of mandatory directional arrows) allows you to continue straight.
Tip 🧠:
➡️ Blue arrow on island = go around, not turn
🚦 No arrow on the light = directional freedom
A sign regarding stopping and parking is valid
Explanation 🧾:
In Belgium, signs related to stopping and parking only apply on the side where they are placed, until the next intersection.
Tip 🧠:
🪧 Sign = ⚠️ attention only on this side, until the intersection 🚗
In this area, pedestrians have the right to walk on the roadway
Explanation 🧠:
This is a 30 km/h zone, not a residential zone. Pedestrians must use the sidewalk and cannot walk freely on the roadway.
Tip 🧩:
🚶 Only in residential zones (sign with children playing) are pedestrians allowed on the roadway. Otherwise, the sidewalk is mandatory.
I want to turn left. I must give way to the yellow vehicle
Explanation 🧠:
Even if the light is green, both vehicles have a green light at the same time. The oncoming vehicle (the yellow taxi) is going straight. You are turning left, so you must give way to it (right of way at an intersection).
Tip 🧩:
🚦 Green light ≠ automatic priority. If you turn left and the other comes from ahead, you yield!
At this intersection
Explanation 🧠:
The round blue sign with an upward arrow mandates continuing straight except for cyclists (thanks to the “EXCEPT/UITGEZONDERD bicycles” sign).
The triangular signs above indicate a right-of-way priority, but that is not the question here.
The correct answer concerns the mandatory direction except for cyclists.
Tip 🧩:
🚲 When you see a mandatory sign accompanied by “except cyclists”, it means that cyclists are not obliged to follow that direction.
