"They [the cycleways] were rediscovered by a historian using Google Street View"
It is hard for me to image this to be anything else but a cycle lane. As a Dutch person, it is hilarious to me that it takes a historian to identify them. For comparison, this is what a cycle lane looks like in the Netherlands (and they are absolutely everywhere): https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Vrijliggend_fietspad.JPG https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/Vrijligg...
"At the time, the Ministry of Transport was working on plans to create a Dutch-inspired cycleways all over the country"

- Freak_NL 9y agoThat is just a (rural) road without footpaths. Outside of the town limits pedestrians tend to share the space with the bicycles. Such roads aren't frequented by many pedestrians in any case because they cover larger distances that most Dutch would use a bicycle, car, or public transport for. This is what a shared road within town limits can look like: http://www.fietsberaad.nl/library/repository/ontwerpvoorbeelden/Albatrosstraat_1.png http://www.fietsberaad.nl/library/repository/ontwerpvoorbeel...
