Akshually, those bike gutters are a bit outdated here. Many shared roads are converted to 'fietsstraat' (bike roads where cars are permitted but must yield to bikes) or markings are removed altogether and replaced with speed limiting obstacles

They might be outdated in cities, but on the country side a lot of the streets still look this way. Probably even more at border crossings. The only bordercrossing I haven't see like this is the main road Kleve-Nijmegen.

Yeah, I'm fairly sure if you turned this specific instance into a fietsstraat, it would just be a regular car street. Although given that this is a 60 km/h road, I do think that the next scheduled maintenance work is not unlikely to turn it into a proper separated bike lane?

Scheduled maintenance work on roads!? How utopian!

Wait until you see the clean and well-maintained buses used by people from all walks of life we have here in Denmark! A bunch of them are even brand new and fully electric!

And yeah, we're one of the most bicycle friendly countries in the world too. Second after The Netherlands, in fact!

Ok, that's enough bragging for one comment, sorry not sorry 😁
