Potterstraat, Utrecht - A lesson for many cities!

A really inspiring video by Mark Wagenbuur illustrating how the city of Utrecht has repaired some of the damage done in the 50s/60s when the city attempted to accommodate the ever increasing levels of car traffic.  It has embarked on a programme of works to restore its street quality, narrowing roads to achieve a better modal split, improve the living environment and making a return the original humanscale city.

Mark also writes the excellent BicycleDutch blog which is always a good read! 

Rush hour traffic, Utrecht, Netherlands

This is completely amazing!  It is heartening to see this volume of cyclists! Government officials, planners, transport planners take note! It didn’t cause more accidents or extreme congestion or stacking! Just happy cyclists in a modern urban environment! Risk assessors also take note - how many people are wearing helmets?
