Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned cyclist, these starter biking rules and signs will keep you going smoothly through the streets of the Netherlands! 🇳🇱🚲 ✶ First and foremost, avoid biking with your mobile phone in your hands, as you might get fined for it. It’s always better to focus on where you’re going! 🤳🚫 ✶ Hand signals are an integral part of biking in the Netherlands, just make sure you’re doing it right! 🫳 ✶ Having front and back bike lights and a bell is essential, contributing to safer bike rides at night. Bike lights are especially important as you might get fined for not having them. ✶ Shark teeth or Haaientanden are indicators of which traffic has priority. If these are facing you, this means you need to stop right there and wait for other traffic that may be approaching. 🛑 ✶ When you see the sign which reads “Rechtsaf voor fietsers vrij”, then you do not have to wait at the signal to take a right. It quite literally means “right is free for cyclists”. ↱ We wish you safe cycling in Groningen! 🫶 How many of these did you know and follow? 🤔 #rijksuniversiteitgroningen #UG2023 #universityofgroningen #netherlands #bike #cycling #rules #signs #traffic #safety
