Lesson 10 of 59 · Dutch traffic rules

Traffic lights Verkeerslichten

De regel · The rule

Red: stop before the stop line. Amber: stop, unless you are so close you cannot stop safely.

RVV 1990 art. 68

Why this rule exists

Lights split a busy junction in turns. Running amber or red breaks that and puts you in someone else's green.
