de park-and-ride

Translation

park and ride

A parking facility for people transferring to public transport, marked by sign E12 of annex 1. The idea is that you leave the car at the edge of town and continue by bus, tram, metro or train, cutting out the busiest kilometres. Parking for a purpose other than the one on the sign is forbidden (art. 24 lid 1 under d), so it is not an ordinary car park for someone shopping nearby. A plate may limit the effect to certain days or hours (art. 24 lid 2).

How it sounds in the exam

Mag u op een plek met bord E12 parkeren om te gaan winkelen?

May you park where sign E12 applies in order to go shopping?
