Entry permitted; two-way traffic possible. Entry is permitted, but expect traffic from the opposite direction on this road.
How to recognise the sign
Read the image, arrows and any text on sign C5; they distinguish this version within the prohibition category.
Supplementary panel and application
Read a supplementary panel as part of the closure. “Uitgezonderd” (except) with a symbol indicates an exemption; a symbol alone can instead limit application to that group.
Difference from C3 — One-way street
C5: Entry permitted; two-way traffic possible. C3: One-way street. Read the separate application of C3 too; similar appearance does not mean identical meaning.
C3 — One-way streetLegal basis
Practise this sign for your theory exam
Entry permitted belongs to the Prohibition category. In the CBR theory exam a traffic sign is almost never asked on its own: you are shown a situation and have to know what you may or must do in it. In the free sign trainer you practise the signs by category, with the explanation shown right after every answer.
