Examples of BIKE PATHS along the streets of Dutch cities & townsThis gallery contains photos of bike paths in built-up areas that are separated from motor vehicles lanes by some kind of barrier and usually from pedestrians by a difference in height. They are so prevalent in The Netherlands that bike maps only indicate these and other bike only facilities, i.e., bike lanes are not even shown (Note: mopeds are allowed on many of these paths) |

Below - In less busy areas, bikers and pedestrians share a 1-way path
Below - At intersections, the design can get quite complicated, expecially with paths changing from 1-way to 2-way and with turning lanes Below - Bike paths are not always parallel to motor vehicle traffic, sometime they're above!
