Fietsstraat is a concept of making a street seems like a bike path, while allowing motor vehicles “as guests.” The concept is only expected to work where bike volumes exceeds auto volume, preferably by a ratio of 2:1 or more. There are three general layouts for a fietsstraat:
ADD pictures of 3 formats
- Bike zones on the outside and a narrow central zone, functioning as advisory lanes; the bike zones are so wide that you can ride side-by-side
- Wide Bike Path: provide Google Maps Link
- Bikes in the Middle: provide Google Maps Link
vehicles using the opposite direction bike zone plus the middle zone to pass bikes.
- Example with 2-way traffic: Ezelveldlaan in Delft – cobblestone
- Examples with 1-way car traffic, 2-way bike traffic, with wider and narrower roadways:
- Leidseweg in Utrecht
- Cromvlietkade in Rijswijk
