Photo examples of BIKE LANES on the streets of Dutch citiesFound in built-up areas where there's low traffic or insufficent width for a separated bike path. They're usually a different color and even continue around rotaries/roundabouts |

___________________________________________________________________________
Below - on a centuries old street shared by all vehicles traveling slowly, a bike lane is marked in one direction
Below - on a narrow street in a village that allows parking, there are period little islands to slow the cars down and dotted lines indicating that bike can go into the center lane to keep away from parked cars
On a major road to Arnhem, a colored bike lane (without car parking) widens to denote where bikers should wait for the signal
___________________________________________________________________________ The next two photos show bike lanes against parked cars. When there's not sufficient width for a separate bike path (as shown in the next section), bike lanes are used but with dotted lines to indicate that bicyclists may also bike in the main lane and cars may travel in the bike lane Very often a bike lane directly adjacent to traffic separates into a separate lane to go through intersections Here a colored bike lane goes right "through" the rotary with the cars but on the outer edge Yes, bike lanes even alongside trolley tracks
The bike lanes continue on the drawbridges as well
Clearly marked bike lanes can be found on country roads as well
This isn't a contra-flow bike lane - cars are allowed to park in either direction
Clearly, this 2-way street with parking and bike lanes means everyone must travel slowly and share the way
