    Fairy sure that you’re seeing a bicycle only intersection. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but zero cars is not plausible, not even in Holland.

      Obligatory pedantic correction: this is in the Utrecht region in the Netherlands (same name as the city). So neither South nor North Holland in this case.

      This is one of the busiest bike intersections in Utrecht. It is right by the central train station. When the camera pans right, you can see the exterior of the amazing bike parking structure that sits under the plaza in front of the station and shopping mall.

      Just 100 meters further this same traffic has to cross with public transport and cars, it’s mayhem there. But hardly any accidents. Just a lot of impatient cyclist. Source: It’s on my daily commute
