almost all of these safety and quality of life features are illegal or at best not advised in the US. You might slowdown and therefore upset a driver of a car.

I got a laugh on a Facebook discussion about a plan to extend a biking arterial along a new commuter rail line in the Montreal area in Canada when I said (as I have before) that I wished the Netherlands could conquer Canada and show us how to do things right. (After all, we helped liberate you 80 years ago; couldn't you return the favour? ;-)

Depending on the character of the side street this could even be improved upon with continuous sidewalks.

NOTE: All the car drivers started cycling when they where youngat some point so there is a good understanding also between cars and bikes.

A slight improvement could be made even still. Drawing arrows of traffic direction near the pedestrian crosswalk.

This would make it clear to pedestrians which way to look at which sections of crossings.
Natives wouldn't need it, but it definitely would only make it more clear to children get used to things as well as to foreigners who come from countries that drive on the opposite side.

Best part is, this only costs a bit of paint.

what's really a convincing point for skeptics, is the middle fat area only widens at the intersection, so it's not like you need a giant-width divider for the entire length of the road, which would incur all kinds of objections about wasted space and inefficient traffic lanes.

And the widening occuring at the intersection means cars need to slow down enough to make the slight curvature, acting as a purely natural and 0 energy requiring design, unlike traffic lights.

And that slight natural curve prepares the driver for an even sharper full 90 degree turn, whether they're making that turn or going straight.

That slight natural curve also points the driver's slight line directly at the oncoming bike lane traffic, naturally making drivers more aware of bikes and pedestrians.

it's beautiful.
a design that is passive, and accomplishes so many things with cheap simple tweaks, like an aikido master.

One, this intersection started with a very wide space so all these areas could be provided. Two, the Dutch don't spend all their money on weapons and killing people in other countries so can provide things to the people.

I see issues implementing something like this in the US. It would work if: it was used in newly built towns with planned, slower than usual, streets, if the island areas were designed a little bigger, and bikes avoided them during rush hour or fewer people used cars. Please show what is done when the street needs to be dug up.

You’re doing a great service showcasing this to... the world, basically. I’m Dutch but I’m living in London, and cycling here is much more of an undertaking. I’m hoping that the current lockdowns have allowed to more rapidly improve things here. There is a plan to do that, but we won’t see this level of sophistication here for a long time, if at all.

The German solution would have been a lot of traffic lights. And a lot of waiting times that comes with traffic lights.

Wow the Dutch think of every possible outcome. Thinking of not just cyclists and pedestrians, but families with strollers and people in wheelchairs. Here in the US there’s ramps for wheelchairs but even those are difficult for people to use. They’re not level and harder for elderly people to use.

I do not think that I would like to change my country because of the cycling infrastructure, but each time when I ride my bike in the city where I live, I feel really sad and sometimes it is a big pain and effort to cycle. Respect for the cycling. Have been twice in Amsterdam and adore the cycling culture. That's something cool and it really does the magic!
