The example you mentioned applies well in 'zipping_provedided that lanes are there': meaning that when the obstruction is on the right: the right car has priority. And if the obstruction is on the left, the left car has priority on the expense of the car in the free way
If it's some physical obstruction other than traffic signs that force you into the other lane, it doesn't matter which lane you're moving out from: you have to yield as you're changing lanes.
That changes if and when traffic slows down to a crawl ("sterk vertraagd verkeer") in both lanes: then you have to zip.
but taking another example as F97 sign
:
F97s are normally used along with road markings that push you out of either lane (the edge of the road marking, lane reduction arrows)
If you follow the right side of the road, you have priority - just don't expect to always get it ...
So you have 4 situations leading to lane reduction
- traffic signs including road markings
apply priority from the right
- some undefined unsigned obstruction
yield when you're changing lanes
- either of the above combined with crawling traffic: zip
When politicians were looking to get the zipping-rule into the traffic laws, I've tried to put it out of their heads as they'd make an already complicated situation even more clouded.
They wouldn't listen ...
