The Dutch Cycling Embassy is a public-private network for bicycle inclusive mobility. We represent the best of Dutch cycling: knowledge, experience and experts.
It looks very nice. This is a great way of creating cycle networks in places where there is no room for protected cycle lanes, but I think having traffic lights on those minor crossroads is overkill and will make a time consuming stop-start journey for cyclists. If you want this street to be like one big cycle lane it would be better to naturally limit traffic speeds and volumes at these crossroads by eliminating through traffic making sure cyclists have priority with give way markings. Even better would be closing that intersection entirely and making it so that the side roads are only accessible from the other direction. Traffic lights for cyclists should only be used for crossing major roads like the one at the end of the video.

They probably put them there thinking that cyclists might slow down because of it at places where they might encounter a car. I don't like them and they probably will cause more problems than they solve.

comment: Innovations like smart helmets with turning signals based on head motions and airbags in the helmet to protect the biker from further injuries have been made possible by the expansion of the e-bike sector. There have also been launched braking systems that use the bike's speed to determine when to release pressure, preventing the bike from flying off the ground while stopping. Weather and traffic forecasting smart applications have begun to appear on the market. Additionally, with the invention of e-bikes, sustainable designs have been in use.

Congratulations on the new facility! Dang, just missed it! Flew into & out of Amsterdam in June. Would have loved checking this out. LOVED riding the tandem in Utrecht. The Dutch certainly can ride. Riding in, among, around, and with thousands of cyclists during my 10 day stay in Utrecht. Didn't see a single crash or close call. Not even a shout of "Hey, watch out!" or anything else. Even the pedestrians are chill when the cyclists break the rules and venture through the pedestrian only zones. Funny how the Dutch realize cyclists won't smash into them, but effortlessly glide on through. Even the scooter riders - but they're over the top. Anyway, ride through a pedestrian zone in the US and you'll be accused of "almost KILLING me!" Spaz 'Muricans don't get it on so many levels. PS The Dutch DO wear helmets. Every "kitted-out" rider on a road bike wore a helmet. Without exception.
