All traffic signs

Welcome. Here you can find every Dutch traffic sign, with a short explanation. Click a sign to see what it means and practise for the CBR theory test.

Practise traffic signs

Learning the signs depends on you. This website helps you practise with a purpose and learn faster. There are many kinds of signs, in all sorts of shapes and colours.

Knowing the signs

Traffic signs are part of every Dutch road. They keep traffic moving safely. Matrix signs that light up for a situation on the road count too. You need to know those signs as well, so you are not caught out.

In short

You need to learn the signs. Your CBR theory test depends on it, and without the theory test you do not get a driving licence. Good luck learning them.
