At the intersection of Willemsparkweg and Van Baerlestraat, cyclists are ignoring traffic signs, despite warnings that going straight is prohibited and a stop sign is present after the intersection.
- Cyclists ignore traffic signs at Willemsparkweg intersection.
- A fence was installed to discourage cyclists from riding straight.
- Traffic warden attempts to direct cyclists to the right.
- Group behavior influences Amsterdam cyclists' traffic actions.
- People prioritize speed over safety and traffic rules.
A cyclist told AT5, “There is further no place, everything is closed off. So yes, unfortunately, I have to break the rules.” Another man added, “Yes, many people steal. That is not allowed. People just do it.”
The municipality has installed a fence to discourage cycling straight, but many cyclists continue to break the rules. A traffic regulator has been deployed to direct cyclists to the right, but he is also frequently ignored.
“If one person runs a red light, others quickly follow. It is impulsive behavior,”
