Strange that is was like that for ages in the Netherlands. On minor residential roads the speed limit is now usually 30 km/h (around 20 MPH), but is was 50 km/h for a long time (30 MPH). Often a car has to wait to overtake a bike. Of course if cyclists can rely on cars to pass them carefully, they can move all the way to the side to let the car pass. But that doesn't work with aggressive car drivers.
