Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 31st December 2015

This week's Good Facility of the Week is the Vredenburg, in Utrecht.

This is a large street in the centre of the city, but one that only permits buses, taxis, and access traffic. People cycle are of course separated from buses, with large cycleways on each side of the street. The one on the south side, in the photograph, is bi-directional, to allow easier access to the area around the train station for people heading west.

This is also a bus stop bypass - the people in the left of the photograph are waiting at the stop for one of the many buses that passes through this busy area.
