At least in the Dutch roundabouts I’ve seen that people hold up as a standard, bicycles are not supposed to take the lane but instead have a separated path along the perimeter.
I think the grandparent comment is also coming from the US, where all-way stop intersections are extremely common.
- Aerroon 5y agoIs there a cyclist road all around the roundabout then that easy to get on and off?
- pmontra 5y agoUsually not. Bicycle roads are a pain if the road they run along has many intersections and roundabouts. You loose so much time and you don't have an engine to go back to speed. I usually stay on the road but I'm doing at least 25 km/h. Families or people with low saddles usually do half that speed and bike lanes are good for them.
- bobthepanda 5y agoYou would probably be in the protected path separated from the road to begin with. Reference: https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/a-modern-amsterdam-roundabout/amp/ https://bicycledutch.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/a-modern-amste...
- orthoxerox 5y agoYes. The Netherlands have standalone bicycle paths as the standard. Not a line on the sidewalk, not a lane on the road, but a completely separate path that is designed to avoid both pedestrians and cars.
