This pedestrian and cyclist tunnel was built underneath a roundabout in Amersfoort.
For social safety, the tunnel offers optimal lighting and daylight. Its walls recede slightly, creating a more spacious and pleasant experience.

"For Maya, the cycle lanes in the Netherlands are tools for her emancipation; giving her the freedom to go wherever she wants without having to rely on her husband, friends, or a public transport network that still hasn’t fully adapted to meet her needs."

0.5% of Dutch cyclists wear helmets. Yet theirs are the safest streets on earth. Why?
They understand it’s more effective to slow cars, build protected infrastructure, and nurture a culture of everyday cycling. Not force the most vulnerable to armour up.

Dutch cities get dark during rush hour, too.
But rather than tell vulnerable users to dress like construction workers, policy makers are slowing, separating and reducing the number of cars on their streets.
The result? Statistically the safest places to walk and cycle on earth.

”Through design, the Dutch have made the cycle track a priority — visually & physically. The cars know that they are to look out for bikes. They are treated almost as guests in the city, which is a complete 180 from how we function here in North America.” vox.com/science-and-health/2…

Twenty-five years.
That’s how recently the Dutch started taking cycling seriously, with the creation of national street design and road safety policies.
Since then, they’ve built nearly 20,000 km of segregated lanes, and cut their fatality rate in half.

With its 8,400 spaces already at capacity, Delft Station has opened a third parking facility for another 2,400 bikes.
Decades of investment in cycling infrastructure and public transport has fueled this growing demand, resulting in a total of 10,800 spaces for a city of 100,000.

How to best summarize the Dutch approach to successful traffic calming?
1️⃣ Enforcement is futile.
2️⃣ Width is everything.
3️⃣ Car volume is not a barrier.
4️⃣ The devil is in the details.
