0:43, that's somthing that reminds me of driving lessons so well, with my instructor going like "Naaaah no no no!!" *pumps brake nearing the round-about* "We are going to brake sooner next time so that those cyclists do not get scared because of the way we drive up to them, thinking that we either did not see them or don't like to stop for cyclists."

Great to see my home area like this. ive cycled there many times in the past. It is one of the best bicyclehighways there is. I dont know if they are officially called so, but the country is full of them. We can cross almost the entire country like this. It is a blessing to ride here.

No, there is no speed limit for cyclists in the Netherlands, apart from the general rule that one should not ride at a speed that is inappropriate for the situation. The reasoning behind it is that bicycles are not enforced to have a speed indicator, and so cannot be presupposed to know their speed well enough to set a speed limit.

just wow, bicycles are given priority it's sad in Sydney how you ride on the sparsely used footpath at a slow speed + overtake giving pedestrians lot of space and people harass you to 'get off the footpath' even if you are riding a cheap bike without full Lycra.

Just a little trivia. Breda, in Italy, is a surname. I do wonder if they are somehow connected ☺

Hi there. The name of the city comes from a local feature in the historic landscape. The city of Breda was built at a broad and shallow place through the river Aa. Broad in dutch = Breed or Brede, So the spot was called the Brede Aa, which led to the name of the city. Now i am wondering where the surname in Italy comes from..

I feel to forward this video to Boris Johnson as an example of a proper cycle superhighway. The whole design is very impressive, from the complete segregation to the design of the intersections with motorised traffic with their excellent visibility ensuring all road users can see each other. The school run scene in particular is a stark contrast to the pile of 4x4's you normally see outside a London school :-) And it's SO peaceful!

Here in Flanders, we also have a bike highway (Kluisbergen) Over a distance of 3 km there are six intersections with 11 bike locks (22 trigger guards) Cyclists popping against it or lose their balance through the slalom movement. According to the municipal council is to stop cyclists aim, get off and walk. Bicycle locks are there anyway to keep cyclists from pedestrian zone and it is still against the principle of a bike highway. For the motorist, it is unclear that they come to a bicycle crossing. Here in Flanders there is still a lot to be done. In any case, zero points for the bike highway.

Why is it that when a road is pedestrian-friendly it tends to be bicycle unfriendly or bicycle friendly it tends to be pedestrian unfriendly? In the UK the roads are great for pedestrians but dangerous for cyclists as they tend to be forced to the car traffic, cars park in their lanes (even though it's illegal) and bus stops close off their lanes, sometimes stopping busses forcing them out or into the high speed traffic. In Zimbabwe cyclists and pedestrians travel on the same lane which either imposes a low speed limit on cyclists or endangers pedestrians (speeding bicycles coming from behind). These roads are bicycle friendly but there is barely any space for pedestrians. The roads are supposed to be good and safe for everyone.

Because we separate cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Three infrastructures totally separated. There are also walking paths, 'walking highways', that go all the way through the country. But BicycleDutch documents almost only the bicycle infra.

+Thor Mentha Besides our country being completely flat wich is probably a big reason for al the cycling, cycling has a loooong history in the Netherlands. Since about half a century cycling is built in to the infrastructure. It was ideal in the small flat cities and everyone could afford it. There are tremendous amounts of people cycling in the netherlands. without this infrastucture the country could not function. if we all relied on cars or busses the roads would be jampacked every hour of the day. So yes we are blessed but we also have no choice but to continue the tradition.

LOL! What a load of crap! The Dutch people use their bicycles so much because they care for the environment, and because it's healthy. I use my bicycle daily to go to work, that way I don't have to pay for gas, roads and car insurance. So it's even MUCH cheaper! You can conclude from this that we definitely are moving forwards, just in a different direction than most technology crazy countries.

Captain Haddock It's the same thing as a pedestrian crossing though. You have right of way but it's always safer to check. This is like saying pedestrian crossings are pathetic. Get real.

chazzatheninja When you cross on a pedestrian crossing as a pedestrian, it is easier for you to stop if a car doesn't give you right of way. But when you're on your bike (due to higher speed) there is less time to look in order to make sure that all cars will stop! Therefore, cycling through a pedestrian crossing gives the cyclist less time to check and stop. That's why this idea is quite dangerous. In a country like Holland, such an experiment is relatively safe. But do the same experiment in a third world country and watch all the carnage unfold....

Captain Haddock What? This is so wrong, bikes have a stopping distance similar to a jogger. Also if you are in a car and driving along a road, you have right of way, but you have a much longer stopping distance than people and you're going a lot faster. BUT GUESS WHAT? We still expect cars to be aware and ready to stop for pedestrians despite this. As to your point about third world countries, the issue isn't that this specific policy can't be implemented in third world countries, it's that ANY policy regarding roads is hard to implement because of poor government and funding. Have you ever actually been to a third world country? This would be the least of your concerns in regards to roads. Even if it were true that this could never work in third world countries you're not actually making a useful argument. There would be a net benefit throughout the world which would FAR outweigh the short run losses of implementation in the developing world (but why would you do that before you have effective control over traffic regulation therein?). All you're saying is essentially "while this would work in the places it would work, it wouldn't work where it wouldn't work". It's an idiotically circular argument.
