New Traffic Signs Database: Practise All Dutch Signs for Free!

Why a complete traffic signs database?

Correctly recognising and understanding traffic signs is a fundamental part of road safety. Whether you are just starting driving lessons or have had your licence for years, traffic signs set the rules on the road.

To make learning as easy and accessible as possible, we have collected all traffic signs in one clear database. Every sign comes with a clear, official description and extra explanation of how it works in practice.

Practise traffic signs 100% free

At Zielaan we believe that good theory education should be accessible to everyone. That is why we decided to make the complete traffic signs database available 100% free to all our visitors. You do not need a paid package to view and learn all the signs.

You can get started straight away in our free traffic signs database. The signs are neatly divided into the official RVV categories, such as:

• A series: Speed
• B series: Priority
• C series: Closed roads
• D series: Direction
• E series: Parking and stopping
• ...and all other official categories of Dutch traffic law.

Do all these signs appear in the CBR theory exam?

This is a common question among learners. The short answer is: no, probably not every traffic sign will literally be asked in your CBR exam.

The CBR theory exam mainly focuses on the most common and crucial signs that affect priority situations, speeds, prohibitions and dangerous situations (such as the A, B, C and J series). Rare signs, such as specific signs for tram lanes or very specific zones, will rarely or never come up in the exam.

Why is it still important to study all signs?

Although the CBR exam uses a selection, it is still very useful to study all signs in the database, for these reasons:

1. Practical lessons and the practical test: as soon as you get into the lesson car, you are driving on public roads. A practical examiner can send you along roads with rarer signs. If you make a mistake there because you do not know the sign, you can fail your practical test straight away.
2. Better traffic insight: traffic signs are never placed without a reason. They tell you something about the structure and the hazards of the road. The better you understand all signs, the better your overall traffic insight, and that helps you directly with the insight questions in the theory exam!
3. Safety on the road: in the end you are not only learning for your exam, but to become a safe and confident driver. Knowing all signs prevents unnecessary fines and dangerous situations for yourself and other road users.
