Meanwhile, in the rest of the world: raise your left hand and pray drivers are nice.
*cough* Right hand 🇬🇧😉
Shockingly, in the UK we somehow have many of these large roundabouts fited with under passes for pedestrians and cyclist. We call them 'subways'. Definitely not as aesthetically pleasing tho.
@@majorskies7091 The difference being that in the UK the cyclists have to descend under the road and then grind back up the other side. Priority is always given to cars.
And this is why cycling is life in the Netherlands
Come to think of it as a Dutchman: this is really, really neat. It is a perfect example of how nitty gritty we design our environment. We are a rich country, with very little area to care for, which leads to these (necessary) types of beautiful solutions.
Yes, though some complain of too much landscaping, as a cyclist and pedestrian I wouldn't want it any other way 😅
Me: I see these roundabouts every day
The world: omg this is the best thing ever, what a gift from God, I wish we had this in my country
Im assuming u get disappointed when you go to any foreign country
@@omzldn6472 yes, more like frustrated :p
@@BLACKLIGHT_NL Bro i bet you get OCD when you see them faded road markings here in UK if you been here before 😂
@@omzldn6472 yesssss
@@BLACKLIGHT_NL You got that dutch mindset bruv 😂 Its funny cuz I live in south london myself but was born in the netherlands and everytime i go back to meet family I get pissed at how much cleaner and neater the street quality is in the netherlands as they got such tidy infrastructure with thin trees planted in the median of nicely spaced out cleanly marked 2+ lane public roads instead of how it is in UK where theres fat bushy trees in the middle of tight sidewalks overlapping bumpy one lane public roads where there aint as much space to drive. Furthermore the houses and flats in general are also cleaner slicker and more modern with higher variety of architecture in netherlands (even them old houses in amsterdam or flats in dordrecht) than the shitty common old council estates flats and old weird shaped dusty victorian houses here in UK, and whats funnier is that the cost of living in netherlands is cheaper aswell so you can probably buy a nicer bigger more newly built house for a lower price than a typical common victorian house that you see everywhere in UK, but i cant lie though the streets are improving on it but still wont beat netherlands for a while, especially with the separate bike lanes. When ur on motorway in UK all you see are messy bushes and trees which are too close to the fences on both sides of the motorway and the roads are bare rough aswell with more traffic density but in netherlands most of the motorways are much smoother with more beautiful aesthetic views of colourful flat neatly organised green flower fields with windmills and you can see much further into the distance + proper straight lines of planted trees on both sides of the road for a better driving experience instead of surrounding the roads with unnecessary fat trunk trees everywhere even in the flatter parts of UK, like when you cross the border on a road trip from belgium to netherlands you notice the car stops shaking and the scenery outside the motorway becomes much sicker compared to UK where its more boring and difficult when driving for longer distances
I really like the waterway going along the path, gives you a little something to look at and make the crossing that bit nicer.
Idk about this particular one but allowing for the water to ‘cross’ highways can also be great for the “doorstroom van de polder” (idk how to translate) so that biodiversity and water quality in the water ecosystems is improved
Just a neatly organised and clean country in general
@@nvwest Through flow of the polder?
@@EugeneAyindolmah sure, and thanks :)
This is both a beautiful and safe solution to the roundabout conflict, I love it! As a cyclist who has been knocked off at roundabouts in the UK, I hope someday something similar will come to our worst offenders.
This is a solution for multi-lane roundabouts. Single-lane have different solutions.
There are a few examples in the UK as well, for example the Met Office Roundabout in Bracknell. Sadly, the idea never caught on in a big way. See for yourself: www.google.com/maps/place/Bracknell,+UK/@51.4171699,-0.7446712,83m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x48767c29377d25fd:0x2b035d7df603e639!8m2!3d51.41604!4d-0.75398
Positive is also that the cars go up that artificial hill, gravity will help them slowing down and speeding up exactly when needed. And the cyclists on ground level can easily maintain their speed.
This is also why it is very attractive, from an environmental point of view, to construct motorways in a trench (if groundwater-levels allow for this): they will spread less noise and at exits and entrances gravity will support the required deceleration and acceleration respectively.
Very civilised - unlike the majority of cities worldwide.
This is probably the rest of the world's dream cycling path.
You're lucky in the Netherlands that you have the cycling 'hardware' and the 'wetware'--i.e, the mentality of the people isn't always cars first. Here in Denmark they only have the hardware--cycle paths and bridges, etc--but the mentality is very much putting bikes and pedestrians at the bottom of the pecking order.
@Douwe Bloot The Danish cycling model is very popular among international urban planners though. Because it looks like you are doing a lot for cycling without too much commitment. If you would like to transform the infrastructure of an american city for example, it takes way more effort to convert to the dutch model than the danish model.
@@thomascoppens8498 what are the differences?
In eindhoven there's one that's known as the bearpit (de berenkuil) in the whole city and villages around it. It's not the official name. You should really Google berenkuil eindhoven it's beautiful, street art is legal there so the whole thing is covered in it. There's even this thing called step in the arena where street artists gather and change the whole thing, even international artist help.
In Bergen we have a restaurant in the middle off the forest called the bearpit. It literally is build in a pit.
Berenkuil Arnhem
Waarom staat dit in me aanbevolen? Ik fiets hier elke dag onderdoor😂😂😂
Google weet alles...
Daarom juist.........."They" Know..........
There's a roundabout here in Bristol that is known as The Bearpit. I typically cycle around it on the road because to do otherwise would mean riding up to the pavement on a busy road next to a usually occupied bus stop, entering the subway via a ramp then exiting via a ramp on the other side onto the pavement. Then from there I would still have to wait at a crossing to rejoin the traffic. There are far worse things about the roundabout itself but at least the faded markings make drivers quite a bit more alert of others switching lanes.
My favourite roundabout is Airborneplein. A bicycle roundabout with a war monument in the center.
This is so well done! Amazing
I travel around this roundabout every day, you can change lanes in the middle, it is just discouraged and a bit bumpy.
lol
There is a similar one in Sint Michielsgestel that has a mini bicycle roundabout in the middle of the car roundabout
Wow, excellent design. Not he whole, I see the towns outside the Randstad still have better cycling infrastructure than we do in Amsterdam.
Uhh alles is beter buiten Amsterdam. Omdat... Amsterdam
there's one like this in Goes, and that one does have 4 arms for cycle traffic
There's a very similar junction in Veldhoven. On the border with Eindhoven the junction is totally the opposite: cars below and cyclist on an ellevated suspended cycle roundabout.
great solution
Amazing!! Tulips and bicycles!!
In eindhoven is de berenkuil, the bearpit
"artificial hill"
Well what else would it be, a natural hill? *laughs in Dutch*
The Dutch aren't used to any land that is higher than sea level, it confuses the poor things.
Cycling heaven
Op wat voor video-instellingen filmt u dit eigenlijk? Het lijkt er in ieder geval op dat de sluitertijd extreem hoog staat, het beeld wordt daardoor schokkerig, vandaar.
Deze beelden zijn over 5 jaar met minstens 4 verschillende camera's gefilmd. Ik houd me niet bezig met instellingan, kies altijd "automatisch".
@@BicycleDutch Dat verklaart het 1 en ander. Waarmee worden de nieuwste videos gefilmd? Kan vaak merken dat het niet een smartphone is, aangezien er een zoomlens op lijkt te zitten.
Without an ND filter you're always going to have quite short shutter speeds in direct sunlight. Cameras with internal ND filters are quite expensive and not all lenses natively support screw-on or other simple filters, so the only option may be a cumbersome attachment. Unless you know exactly the sort of lighting conditions you'd be filming, I wouldn't bother for this sort of thing.
@@Jerbod2 jawel hoor, een iPhone 11 Pro met film op 1080p HD op 60 fps. Zoomen in Adobe Premiere.
"Cannot change lanes on the roundabout due ridges" haha oh you can 😋
falling of cars happend a lot at The "Berenkuil" at Utrecht .................
I don’t like roundabouts like this one. Last month a choose the wrong lane and had no choice then to leave the roundabout and drive until I could turn my car.
With normal roundabouts you just drive a extra circle. However roundabouts are a lot saver then intersections with or without stoplights.
Since my city build them on almost every intersection and crossroad the amount off accidents lowered dramatically
Prachtig ontwerp.
Jeroen, doe nou nieeeeett !
Other cities spent about as much money as for such a roundabout for the whole bicycle infrastructure....
The rest of the world,locked and loaded,just in case somebody gets to friendly with the yellow line.
رائع
Just like Stevenage.
I live over here and it is not super perfect. He doesnt show you that from 1 side you go down from a bridge. So you go super fast and than you go left or right, than you have to use super hard your break. But maybe we dutchers are lil complainers 😅 it can always be better
Je kan gewoon met de auto of motor over die randen heen rijden. Ervaringsdeskundigen met beide voertuigen hier. :-)
Met de fiets kan het ook :)
Het kan wel, maar plezant is anders :p
bij mij in de buurt zijn ze een aardig stukje hoger, lijkt me niet echt aangenaam XD
I bet hollaND DID WELL FROM COVID
Actually not really. For deaths per milion they are at par with the US (for now). But the US is determined to show the world they are best :(
The British cycle network is total crap.
En waarom for fucks sake, staat dit in mijn favorieten ?
Ben je die porno nog niet zat dan ?
People will actually deviate up to 20 mins just to avoid an underpass (which invariably smells of piss and attracts the scum of the earth).
bullshit.
