Groningen’s Green Phase for Cyclists


Description From Street Films: Groningen is the largest city in the north of the Netherlands. It has been called the "World Cycling City", since 57% of journeys within the city are made by bicycle. In Groningen, even the large multi-lane roads have been civilized for cyclists. On this main ring road around Groningen there is signage to indicate that at this intersection cyclists get their own green phase at the light. This means that when the light is green cyclists can travel in any direction across the junction, including diagonally. Traffic Engineer Hillie Talens explains how it works in this first short video that we bring to you to kick off our series with the Bikes Belong Delegation to the Netherlands.
